W. I have long neglected Christ, now it is too late; to what end then should I go unto this Ordinance?
S. Who told you it was too late? where do you read it? the damned in Hell might say it is too late, but not you that would have him if you could, and may have him i• you ⟨p. 197⟩will, and have him indeed, because you are willing: And it is not what you have been, but what you are, and would be, that you must judge your state by.
W. But if the day of grace be past with me, and the door of mercy shut against me, it is too late▪ how then should I be sealed in this Ordinance unto the day of Redemption:
S. The day of grace is not past with him that would fain have grace above all earthly riches, nor is the door of mercy shut against him that doth set open the door of his heart for Christ the King of Glory to enter in; & doth importunately pray for the fruits of the Spirit.
