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.
