You have heard before what it is to come to Christ, viz. To venture, and cast your self upon Christs invitation in his promise, and the soul now venturing to lean upon Christs word, and to trust Christ upon his word, and to expect what Christ holds forth in his word, this is a coming unto Christ, you know what the Pro∣digal was▪ and when the Lord sees a poor soul a∣far off, he meets him, and strengthens him, and encourageth him, and leadeth him by the hand, and upholdeth him.
