The unsearchable riches of Christ, and of grace and glory in and through [sic]…The unsearchable riches of Christ, and of grace and glory in and thorow [sic]…

Are there none living at distance from God, nor under his curse really or to their own apprehension, that would have the distance and curse removed? Are there no weak Graces to be strengthened? If there be any such merchants that have a mind and heart to the wares: I say to them from the Lord, as his Herald: Ho every one that Thirsts, and he that hath no money come: This is the scope of the Gospel, and the preparation for Christ, and also for the Communion, that it calleth for from poor Souls, that would fain close the bargain, and set their Seal to it, and would have ⟨p. 147⟩Gods Seal set to it to morrow by taking the Sacrament. Speak, what say ye? Pose and put your hearts to it to declare, if they be indeed willing and well content to make and hold the bargain on his own terms; if they be so, (as there is all the reason in the world they should;) then I say, ye have a good bargain: I say again speak, pose your hearts, if ye will make and hold the bargain on these terms or not.

There are these things that do singularly commend this bargain. First, the excellency of it; ye will go through all the Markets in the World, ere ye get such rich Mercies, of so rare a kind, so sure and so cheap; ye would, belike, think much to have so much land, gold or money; but what are those to this bargain? Those will evanish and turn to ashes, when this will endure and abide with you for ever: What are ye doing? Who are like so many Horse-leaches, sucking up, and glutting your selves with the world, or living securely and carelessly, or punching up your own righteousness; is there any of those bargains like this? we appeal to your own consciences, and nothing doubt, but they will one day bear witness against you, that ye heard of such a bargain and had it in your offer, and yet wilfully refused to accept of it. Secondly, Is there any bargain more suitable for you, who have your peace to make with God; for you who have corruption lively in you, then to have a King, Captain and conqueror to bring it down and to trample on it, after he hath as a Priest reconciled you to God? Is there any more suitable bargain for you, who have your own pinches and straits, and your Comforts at a very low ebb, for you who have wants which cannot be numbered, and who cannot of your selves command one stayed spiritual thought? If ye were perfectly righteous and fairly landed in Eternity,
