While, then, the day of grace and mercy is continued, be concerned to take your sin and danger under your most serious consideration. After all you have done, to draw forth the fury of the glorious Redeemer upon yourselves, he is calling you to look to himself, and be saved. After all you have done to separate yourselves to the sword of his vindictive justice, he is calling you to match with himself, as your beloved, your best friend. “Come now,” says he, after all the dishonour you have done him, “and let us reason together; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
