Min. The voice, the sweet voice of the Lord Jesus Christ, (who was once hanged on a tree, to take away the Sting and Curse of even such a Death as yours) unto all that close with him, His heavenly voice now is, Oh that I & my Saving work might be entertained, kindly entreated, in that poor, perishing soul of thine! Are you willing?
Morg. I hope I am.
