I will not yet cease to Argue; But Oh, Hear, what I have yet to speak, on the behalf of our dearest Saviour; I will ascribe a Peerless and Endless Goodness unto Him. Certainly He that never did Reject any Sinner that came unto Him, never will Reject any Sinner that comes unto Him. Now this, this may be asserted concerning our Saviour. The Worst Sinners in the World have come to Him; Did He ever cast out any of them? No, in no wise; not One of them all. We read of such as were Emphatically, Sinners, among them who came unto our Lord Jesus ⟨p. 58⟩Christ: And what became of them? What, but this, Their sins, which were many, were Forgiven them. Yea, The very Murderers of our Lord Jesus Christ Himself; the Wretches that with Wicked Hands Crucified Him and Murdered Him: The Sin of those Monsters, was the Greatest Sin, that ever was Committed under the Cope of Heaven; The Earth trembled, the Rocks rent; the Sun turned black; the whole Frame of Nature was in a Convulsion at it. It may not without Horror be thought upon. And yet! Some of these very Murderers, Repented, and Repairing unto the Lord Jesus Christ, obtained the Remission of all their Sin. There were horrid Sinners among the Corinthians; [1 Cor. 6.9, 10.] Fornicators, Idolaters, Adulterers, Effeminate, Sodomites, Thieves, Covetous, Drunkards, Revilers, Extortioners. What a Black List is here! Can the Bottom of Hell show a blacker! Ah! Holy JESUS! wouldest thou not cast out such as these, when they came unto thee? No; Read on. Such were some of you; BUT, Ye are Washed; BUT ye are Sanctified; BUT ye are Justified, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, & by the Spirit of our God. Oh! Grace! Grace! that cannot be Paralleled! Now, we were long ago thus called upon; O Give Thanks to the God of Heaven, For His Mercy Endureth for ever. The Mercy of our Saviour, which of old Received the Greatest Sinners that came unto Him, still Endures, ever Endures; come to Him, O Sinner, Thou shall find the Like Mercy in Him, that was found in the former Ages.
