Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Genesis 19:3

And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

Doth not the Reader call to mind, Him, who in the days of his flesh was constrained in like manner. Luke 24:28. And is not the Reader's heart prompted by the view of both scriptures, to constrain Jesus also, to enter in and tarry with him. Oh! for a spirit of heart-wrestling with God our Saviour, not to be refused!
