Secondly. There is made unto thee a Proposal of an Espousal unto a Glorious CHRIST, who says, I Marry My self unto thee. The Proposal of thy SAVIOUR, is; Art thou willing, That I should make thee Mine, & by my Spirit Entirely take Possession of thee; & Feed thee, Clothe thee, Instruct thee, Protect thee, bring thee to My Fathers House, & Rejoice in thee forevermore? Now, Heartily Reply this ONE WORD; Lord, Make me willing; Thou hast Made me willing; Then art thou come into an Espousal with a Lord who hates putting away. In Faithfulness forever has He Betrothed thee unto Himself; & He will no more part with thee, than the Apple of His Eye. Oh! Go home Rejoicing; Oh! Carry away with you the Great Consolations of GOD. Be not now the Soul that will Refuse to be Comforted. Assertion
