Answ By no means, if thou art coming to •• sus Christ; because when God shuts the D• upon Men, he gives them no Heart to com• Jesus Christ. None comes but those to w• it is given of the Father: But thou co• therefore it is given to thee of the Father.
Be sure therefore, if the Father hath • thee an Heart to come to Jesus Christ, the • of Mercy yet stands open to thee: For it s• not with the Wisdom of God to give stre• to come to the Birth, and yet to shut • Womb Isa. 66.9. To give Grace to com• Jesus Christ, and yet shut up the Doo• his Mercy upon thee. Incline thine Ear, • he, and come unto me; hear, and your Soul• live: and I will make an everlasting Covenant you, even the sure Mercies of David, Isa. 52.
