and a matter of little observation or wonderment for a Sinner to become a Saint: Many Commence Believers before they were either convinced or humbled; and that is the reason why so many prove Apostates: The great design of the Parable, and aim of this Discourse upon it, is that proud and secure Sinners may be awakened and humbled, and brought off from their empty and undoing courses; and that abased and self-loathing Sinners may be encouraged, notwithstanding all their profuse and prodigal ways, to return to God in Christ for his mercy, and so may taste of the Royal Feast, and be entertained at that noble Table, which God hath prepared for them who come home from their far Country, by true Repentance. My encouragement is, that out of the mouth of ⟨image ?⟩Babes and Sucklings God hath ordained praise; to his blessing I commend this work; and may his Name have the Glory, and your Souls be made so to partake in benefit by it, as to give him his due acknowledgement, I shall have reached the utmost of my aims,
