THE First Thing which we are therefore to be directed to, is; Let us become the Lord's; By a most Voluntary and Immediate Resignation and Consecration of our selves unto Him, let us become the Lord's. They shall be mine, saith the Lord. And That secures their being made up among His Jewels. GOD our SAVIOUR makes His most Gracious Overtures unto us all; Wilt thou be Mine? Art thou willing to be comprehended in the Covenant of Life, which I have made for my People? Art thou willing to be taken under my Conduct; willing that my Sacrifice and my Righteousness procure thy being Forgiven and Accepted of GOD! Willing that my SPIRIT should rectify all […] out of Order in ⟨p. 19⟩thee, & bring thee to be all that I would have thee to be? O Soul-moving Overtures! O Heart-melting Overtures! Let thy Answer to these Overtures be That; Psal. CXIX. 94. Lord, I am Thine, Save me! The Glorious LORD will now own thee for One of His Jewels.

Thou art with Him, and on Him, and in Him, and as One of His Jewels, when He does as the High Priest of His People, Enter within the Veil, with an Intercession that saves to the Uttermost.
