A call to the unconverted, to turn and live
A call to the unconverted, to turn and live; and accept of mercy, while mercy may be had; as they ever would find mercy, in the day of extremity from the living God. / By his unworthy servant, Richard Baxter.

4. Your glory will contribute to the glorifying of your Redeemer, who will everlastingly be magnified and pleased in you that are the travail of his soul; and this is more than the glorifying of yourselves.
5. And the eternal majesty, the living God, will be glorified in your glory, both as he is magnified by praises, and as he communicateth of his glory and goodness to you, and as he is pleased in you, and in the accomplishment of his ⟨p. 134⟩glorious works, in the glory of the New Jerusalem and of his Son.
All this the poorest beggar of you that is converted, shall certainly and endlessly enjoy.
2. You see for what you must turn! Next, you must understand from what you must turn; And that is, in a word, from your carnal self, which is the end of all the unconverted. From the flesh that would be pleased before God, and would still be enticing you thereto. From the world that is the bait; and from the devil, that is the angler of souls, and the deceiver. And so from all known and wilful sins.
