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

Answ. Yes, Thou hast so much the more need to come to Christ. If a man should say, I am very sick, and therefore I am afraid to go to the Physician, what a strange Saying were that! It is just so when any one shall say▪ I have been a grievous sinner, therefore I am […] to go to Jesus Christ. He, and He […] can recover thy guilty dying soul. If thou […] indeed go to him with a desire to be his servant, He'll accept of thee, notwithstanding thy many and great sins; Such is his gracious nature as that he will forgive all the wrongs thou hast done to him. Tho thou hast despidespised ⟨p. 28⟩him, tho thou hast killed him by thy sins, yet he will, accept of thee. Remember how Joseph received his Brethren when they came to him humbly confessing the wrong they had done him, and begging for pardon, he comforted them and spake kindly to them Gen. 50.4. So will Christ do much more; for He came into the world to save the chief of Sinners. 1. Tim. 1.15. Who did the Lord Jesus first appear to after his Resurrection? was it not to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he cast seven Devils, and more Devils out of her Soul than out of her Body? As great sinners as thou hast been, when they have come to Christ, he would in no wise cast them out. What think you of the Woman of Samaria who had lived in Adultery, but when she came to Christ with a penitent heart He gave her living Water. What do ye think of the Woman spoken of Luk. 7.37. which was a Sinner, h. e. a notorious, infamous Sinner, whose name rung in Town and Country for her wickedness, yet •hen she came to Christ, and washed his feet […] her tears, her sins which were many were forgiven. And what say you to the Corinthians, who had, some of them been Thieves, Drunkards, effeminate, Adulterers, Sodomites, (horrid sins) but they were w•shed and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, 1. Cor. 6.9, 10, 11. ⟨p. 29⟩
