B•t having spoken to the fi•st of these alrea••, I shall here pass it by; and shall speak a Word or two to him that is coming, after Back-•••ding, to Jes•s Christ for Life.
Thy way, O thou Sinner of a double Die, •ny Way is open to come to Jesus Christ. I •ean thee, whose Heart after long Backsliding, •oes think of turning to him again. Thy way, • say, is open to him, as is the way of the other ••rt of Comers, as appears by what follows.
First, Because the Text makes no Exception against thee: It doth not say, And any Him •ut a Backslider, any him but him. The Text •oes not thus object, but indefinitely opens •ide its golden Arms to every coming Soul without the least Exception, therefore thou •ayst come. And take heed that thou shut •ot that Door of Unbelief which God has •pen'd by his Grace.
