The greatest sinners exhorted and encouraged to come to Christ, and that now without…

Consider, 1. We may bear much fruit, if the fault be not our own. Some indeed are advantaged thereunto above others, namely, They that are in a public capacity (as many before the Lord in this Assembly are.) A Magistrate is put into a capacity of bearing fruit in such a Degree, as that the whole Country shall fare the better for him: By being Zealous for God, in the Execution of Justice, and the ⟨p. 114⟩Suppression of Vice. He may stand in the Gap ▪ and save a whole People from Ruin. When Sin is Duly punished, all fare the better for that fruit of Righteousness. And They that minister in the House of God, have an opportunity put into their hands of being abundantly fruitful. He that converts a sinner, and so saveth a soul from death, beareth much fruit. He tha• builds up many in Faith and Holiness, bear••h much fruit. That Minister who shall be an Example of the Believers in Word, in Conversation, in Charity, in Spirit, in Faith, in Purity, beareth much fruit, and many souls will seed thereon, and bless God to eternity that ever they knew such a one. But Private Christians also, may bear much fruit: They may set such an Example as many others may be the better for: And by their prayers they may do much good. A prayerful Christian is a fruitful Christian. I will suppose a poor man, or a poor woman that is little taken notice of by the world, but is much in prayer, and is upon all occasions getting others together and inciting them to Prayer, and provoking them to lo•e and to good works; I say the whole Town and Land fareth the better for that poor man, for that poor godly woman
