Gods acceptance of Sinners through Christ. [ 854]

THemistocles on a time having highly offended K. Philip, and not knowing how to regain his favour,* 1.1 goes and takes young Alexander his Sonne in his arms, and so presents himlsef before the King; which when he saw, and perceiving the young child to smile upon him, his wrath was soon appeased towards him; Thus we have all of us highly offended and provoked the King of Kings, God himselfe;* 1.2 What shall we do to regain his favour? No way so ready as to take his Son Christ Iesus in our arms, and upon the bended knees of our hearts, to prostrate our selves before him, and then we shall find to our comfort, that as one looking through a green or red glass, all things will seem to be of the same colour; so God looking through his Sons Righteousness upon us, will for his sake accept us for Righteous, and so be reconciled unto us.
