The gospel preacher then, with holy skill, Must offer Christ to whosoever will, To sinners of all sorts that can be namd, The blind, the lame, the poor, the halt, the maimd; Not daring to restrict the extensive call, But opening wide the net to catch them all. No soul must be excluded that will come, No right of access be confind to some. Though none will come till conscious of their want, Yet right to come they have by sovreign grant, Such right to Christ, his promise and his grace, That all are damnd who hear and dont embrace. So freely is the unbounded call dispensd, We therein find even sinners unconvinced. -- Ralph Erskine, Gospel Sonnets
