3. Open the Nature of the Proclamation.4. Open the Terms upon which it is pro∣claimed.The Gospel is the Pro∣clamation of Peace. 2 Cor. 5.19 Eph. 6.15.The Proclamation of this Peace is the Go∣spel of Jesus Christ: Hence the Gospel is cal∣led, The Word of Reconciliation, and the Gospel of Peace.I. Because the Gospel only shews us how Re∣conciliation is made between an offended God, and offending Creatures; and no otherways is this revealed, or made known to Men.II. Because God, my Brethren, is hereby declared to be reconciled or pacified towards Sinners,2 Cor. 5.18 even in Jesus Christ; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the World to himself, not imputing their Trespasses unto them. Some would have this extend to all the World universally, but then all would be saved; for if all were reconciled to God by the Death of his Son, they shall much more be saved by his Life; for so Paul argues in respect of all them that God by the Death of his Son,Rom. 5.1. was reconciled to; For if when we were Enemies, we were reconciled to God by the Death of his Son, much more being reconci∣led, we shall be saved by his Life. If God gave us the great Gift, he will much more give the lesser Gift, i. e. Faith and Perseverance; com∣pare this with Rom. 8.32. My Brethren, 'tis the same [All,] or World that Christ promised that he would draw to him, and that he takes away the Sin of.Joh. 3.19. Moreover, if he had recon∣ciled the whole World to God,Joh. 17.9, 20. he would have prayed for the whole World, but that he saith he did not, yet he prayed for all he died for.0
