Captives bound in chains, made free by Christ their surety

Come then, poor captive Sinners, come and try what comforts and delights are to be found in the ways & service of our God. Do not judge before you try; how can you tell, what are the ways of God, before you have made experience what they be? How can you tell, there are no comforts, joys that the Saints meet with, when you were never qualified for those comforts and those joys? I do not persuade you to cast away a comfortable life, but to change it for a better; I do not persuade you to leave delights and pleasures, but to change them for more noble, more rational, more spiritual, more durable delights: Come and get a real taste and relish of the sweet delights in communion with God, in the sense of his love, in a right applying of his promises, in hoping for his Kingdom; and if you do not like them better, and find them ⟨p. 50⟩sweeter, then return again to your present comforts, and fetch them again from the same Objects that now you do; but then be sure your Heart be changed, that you might taste indeed the sweetness of delights and Comforts in God, in Christ, in the promises and privileges of the Gospel, and I dare be bold to say, you will then say these are better, greater, sweeter than ever any before you found in Satan's Service, or in the way of Sin: Come therefore, come and try.
