THE APPLICATION OF REDEMPTION, By the effectual Work of the Word, and Spirit of Christ, for the bringing home of lost sinners to God. The first eight Books: In which (besides many other seasonable, and soul-searching truths) there is also largely showed, 1. Christ has purchased all spiritual good for HIS. 2. Christ puts all HIS into possession of all that good that he has purchased. 3. The soul must be fitted for Christ before it can receive him: And a powerful ministry is the ordinary means to prepare the heart for Christ. 4. The work of God is free: And the day of salvation, is while this life lasts, and the Gospel continues. 5. God calls his Elect at any age, but the most before old age. 6. The soul is naturally settled in a sinful security. 7. The heart of a natural man is wholly unwilling to submit to the Word that would sever him from his sins. 8. God the Father by a holy kind of violence, plucks His out of their corruptions, and draws them to believe in Christ.
