“If ever we have known this wondrous compassion of God to ourselves, if ever we have tasted that the Lord is gracious, let us remember the relish we have had of this infinite compassion and condescending grace, when we were perishing under the power and guilt of sin; and with an imitation of that divine piety, let us entreat sinners to be saved. Let us remember all the alluring charms, the heavenly sweetness of forgiving, sanctifying and saving grace, and do our utmost to set them all before sinners in the most inviting light, that we may win sinful men to accept the same salvation.”
-- Isaac Watts, An Exhortation To Ministers (Swengel, 1970), pages 45-46.
