Fifthly, If he that hath sinned this Sin might yet come to Jesus Christ then must the truth of God be overthrown, which saith in one place. He hath never Forgiveness. And •n another, I will in no wise cast out. Therefore that he may never have Forgiveness, he shall never have an Heart to come •o Jesus Christ. It is impossible that such an one should be renewed either to, or by Repentance▪ Heb. 6. Wherefore, never trouble thy Head nor Heart about this matter. He that cometh to Jesus Christ, cannot have sinned against the Holy Ghost.
Sixthly, Thy Fears that Christ will not receive thee, may arise from thine own Folly, in inventing yea, in the chalking out to God a way to bring thee Home to Jesus Christ.

They conclude, that if their coming to Jesus Christ is right, they must needs be brought home thus and thus. As to instance.
1. Says one, if God be bringing of me to Jesus Christ, then will he load me with the Guilt of Sin, •till he make me roar again.
