6. Coming So•l the Jesus that thou art coming to, is full of Might and Terribleness, for thy Advantage. He can suppress all thine Enemies. He is the Prince and King of the Earth▪ he can bow all Mens Designs for thy help. He can break all Snares laid for thee in the way. He can life thee out of all Difficulties, wherewith thou may'st be surrounded. He is Wise in Heart, and Mighty in Power. Every Life under Heaven is in his hand, yea the fallen Angels trembled before him: And he will save thy Life, coming Sinner, Cor. 1.24.
7. Coming Sinner, the Jesus to whom thou art coming, is lowly in Heart, he despiseth not any. 'Tis not thy outward Meanness, not thy inward Weakness, 'tis not because thou art poor or base, or deformed, or a Fool, that he will despise thee. He hath chosen the foolish the base, and despised things of this World, to confound the wise and Mighty. He will bow his Ear to thy stammering Prayers. He will pick out the meaning in thy inexpressible groans, he will respect thy weakest Offering if there be in it but thy Heart, Mat. 11.20.
