The second Observation.
I came now to the second Observation propounded to be spoken to; to wit,
I came now to the second Observation pro•ounded to be spoken to; to wit,
That they that are coming to Jesus Christ, •re oft-times heartily afraid that Jesus Christ •ill not receive them.
I told you that this Observation is implied in •he Text, and I gather it from the largeness & •••penness of the Promise, (I will in no wise cast •ut) For had there not been a proneness in us, to •ew casting out, Christ needed not to have, as it • were, way laid our fear, as he doth by this reat and strange Expression, In no wise. And im that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. There needed not, as I may say, such a Promise to be invented by the Wisdom of Heaven, orded at such a rae, as it were on purpose to ash in pieces at one blow all the Objections of oming Sinners; if they were not prone to admit of such Objections to the discouraging of heir own souls; for these words In no wise, ut the throats of all Objections; & they were ropp'd by the Lord Jesus for that very d nd to help the Faith that is mixed with unbelief.
