Thirdly. They that are not got beyond the Capacity of Children, may be taught this Lesson; There is a Saviour willing to receive me, and relieve ⟨p. 25⟩me; and if I would be Saved, I must come unto Him. The Eternal Son of God, who dwells in our JESUS, took Little Children, into His Arms, and Blessed them: Oh! Children Blessed indeed! And You too, may be so. He added, Mat. XIX. 14. Suffer Little Children to come unto Me; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Ah, Little Children, You may come unto your Saviour. If you can take notice of what is now spoken, you may come to this Thought, There is a JESUS, who Saves His People from their Sins. You may come to this Thought; My JESUS is able to Save unto the Uttermost, all that come unto Him. You may come to this Thought; My JESUS will Cast out none that come unto Him. As Young as you are, you may then come into such Thoughts and such Cries as these; O Lord, I beseech thee to deliver my Soul; O my Saviour, Bind up my Soul in the Bundle of Life! O my Saviour, Let thy Blood Cleanse me from all my Sin! O my Saviour, Guide me by thy Counsel, and bring me to thy Glory! If you can request any Person to do you any Kindness, ⟨p. 26⟩can you not make this Request unto the Blessed Jesus, O my Saviour, Take me into thy Precious Hands. If you can ask for Bread when you are Hungry, or for Help when you are Uneasy; Cannot you as well say, O my Saviour, I am distressed, undertake for me!
