And what Chains so heavy, as those that discourage thee? Thy Chain which is made up of Guilt & Filth, is heavy; it is a wretched Bond about thy Neck, by which thy Strength doth fail, Rom. 1.14. Ch 3 27 But come, though thou comest in Chains: 'Tis Glory to Christ that […] Sinner comes after him in Chains The chi• ing of thy Chains, tho' troublesome to thee are not, for can be any Obstruction to thy Salvation: 'tis Christ's Work and Glory to save thee from thy Chains, to enlarge thy steps, and set thee at Liberty. The blin• Man though called, surely could not com• apace to Jesus Christ: But Christ could stan• still, and stay for him. True, He rideth upon the Wings of the Wind: but yet he is long suffering, and his long suffering is Salvation • him that cometh to him, Mat. 10.49. Pet. 3 9.
