Distressed Sinner; Behold the Lovely JESUS, the Man on the Throne of God, in whom the Eternal Word and Son of God has Chosen His Everlasting ⟨p. 20⟩Habitation, that Saviour and Great One, making a Tender of Himself, and of, His Great Salvation, even unto the Chief of Sinners. Be Amazed at this Grace! Lift up thy Cry to Sovereign Grace, for Help to Believe and Embrace this most Gracious Tender, which of thy self thou art not Able to do. Then with an Agonizing and an Astonished Soul, Declare unto the Glorious JESUS, Lord, I fly to thee, as my Refuge and my Saviour. Oh! Do thou now apply to my Repenting, Humble and Contrite Soul, the Pardon, which thou didst by thy Precious Blood Purchase for me, while I was yet an Enemy of God. But with a Pardon, Oh! Bestow upon me that Blessing, which my Soul would value as much as any Pardon; The Blessing of a New Heart: The Blessing of an Heart filled with the Love of God: The Blessing of an Heart always to choose the Things that Please the Lord.
