Shall God enter this Complaint against thee? Why dost thou put him off? why dost thou stop thine Ear? Canst thou defend thy self, when thou art called to an Account for thy Neglects of so great Salvation? what canst thou answer? Or dost thou think thou shalt escape the Judgment? Heb. 2.3.
No more such Christs: There will be no more such Christs, Sinner! Oh put not the Day, the Day of Grace, away from thee; if it be once gone, twill never come again, Sinner.
But what is it that has got thy Heart, and that keeps it from thy Saviour? Who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the Sons of the Mighty can be likened to the Lord? Psal 89.6. Hast thou, thinkest thou, found any thing so good as Jesus Christ? Is there any among thy sins, thy Companions, and foolish Delights, that like Christ, can help thee in the Day of thy Distress? Behold, the greatness of thy sins cannot hinder; let not the Stubbornness of thy Heart hinder thee, sinner.
