The anger or wrath of God best appeased, when the sinner appeareth with Christ in his armes. [ 404]

THemistocles understanding that King Admetus was highly displeased with him,* 1.1 took up his young son into his armes, and treated with the Father, hold∣ing that his darling in his bosom,* 1.2 and thereby appeased the King's wrath: God is at this time offended with us, and hath a controversie with us; there is no better way then to come to him with Christ in our armes, to present our suits by him; We have so far provoked the Almighty by our sins, that he may justly fall on us with a back-blow that we never yet dreamt of;* 1.3 And who in Heaven or Earth can or dare treat for our peace, but Christ our Peace-maker; Ille oculus est per quem Deum vide∣mus, &c. (saith Ambrose) He is our eye with which we see God, our hand by which we offer to him, and our mouth by which we speak unto him.
