Are they men that are sensible of their natural estate, oppressed with the sense of their sins, that think Christ will not regard them? He prayeth for the transgressors. Cannot you believe? See that place, John xvi. 10, 'He shall convince the world of righteousness, for I go to the Father.' Christ is gone to send the comforting Spirit, that shall give you clear gospel; he is gone to heaven to plead with the Father for you. You desire to believe, and Christ prayeth that you may. Do not think that Christ is only careful of the elect regenerate, he is also careful of the elect uncalled: John x. 16, 'And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice.'
