II. O you to whom there is the Word of such a Salvation sent; Your Compliance with the Proposal of your Glorious REDEEMER for your ESPOUSAL to Himself, does declare you Espoused unto Him, and render you interminably Happy in Him. Tis the Speaking of ONE WORD, upon an overture of a Marriage, which determines the Matter. Soul, Tis the Hearty Speaking of ONE WORD which will Marry thee unto thy SAVIOUR. That ONE WORD, Receive me to thy Mercy, and thy Glory O my SAVIOUR. That ONE WORD, O my ⟨p. 8⟩SAVIOUR, make me thy own forever. That ONE WORD, Lord, I am Thine, Save me. The People Espoused unto the Redeemer, are called, Psal. CX.3. His Willing People. Tis their being made Willing to be His that makes them such an Happy People. Soul, when thy SAVIOUR makes His Proposal, Shall I take thee, and make thee my own, and Feed thee and Clothe thee, and Lead thee, and Shield thee, and use thee as my own, and bring thee to be all that I would have mine to be! Let thy conquered Heart comply with it, and Reply, O my SAVIOUR, I resign my self unto thee; do thou take possession of me! Lo, Tis done! Tis done! This ONE WORD fetched from thy Heart by the Victorious Grace of GOD has Eternally Saved thee. The SPIRIT of GOD inclining the Soul to say unto the SAVIOUR, the Justifier, the Sanctifier, Oh! when will thou come unto me! He does thereby make that Soul a Bride for the SON of GOD. It is the Bride that says COME! He waits for that Voice of His Dove: Oh! Let not the only Comforter that can relieve my Soul be far from me: Let there no longer be a distance between me and my SAVIOUR; and let not my Sin hide His Face from me. Upon this He says, O my Dove, I take thee into the Clefts of the Rock: Thou shalt be under the shadow of my Wings forever. It may be Illustrated from the Espousal of Rebeckah unto Isaac. When the Glories and the Desires of the Excellent Person, and of his Father, had been told her, and it was demanded, Wilt thou go unto him, and be his? Her answer of Compliance, I will go, Settled all; there needed no more to be said. Soul, The Word of Truth, and Gospel of thy Salvation, tells thee, The SON of GOD is a Person beyond all Imagination Glorious, and He is The Lord of all. He would gladly make thee His own: And His FATHER sends His Gospel, to inform thee and assure thee of it.
