Thus the sense of Unworthiness creates & heigh•-• Fears in the Hearts of them that are coming to ••esus Christ; but indeed it should not, for who ••eds the Physician, but the Sick? Or, who did Christ come into the World to save, but the Chief • Sinners? (Mat 1 17. 1 Tim 1 15) Wherefore, th• •ore thou seest thy Sins, the faste• fly thou to Jesus Christ; and let the sense of thine own unworthiness, prevail with thee yet to go faster. As it is with the Man that carrieth his broken Arm in a Sling to the Bone-setter, still as he thinness of his broken Arm, and •s he feels the Pain and Anguish, he hastens his pace •o the Man. And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whither goest thou? Tell him, Thou art maimed; and art going to the Lord Jesus. If he Objects thine •wn Unworthiness, tell him, That even as the Sick ••ke In the Physician, as he that hath broken Bone• •••ks him that can set them, so thou art going to Jesus Christ for Care & Healing for thy sick Soul.
