CHAP. 62. The Second Argument: Manifesting the exceeding willingness of God and Christ to be reconciled to sinners.
SEcondly, God hath manifested himself very willing to be reconciled unto sinners in this; that he hath made it to be the great Master-piece of al his works to provide a way for Reconciliation of thee unto him. The Lord hath wrought so wonderfully for the children of men, rather than for Angels, in sending his Son, & making of him a curse for our sins. In this the Lord proclaims a loud voice to al the world; O! be it known to al you sinners that I am willing to be reconciled to you. We need not name Scripture for this, for the whole Doctrine of the Gospel is ful of this; O! the heart of God is much in this work of Reconciliation; al the arguments in the world, al the expressions that possible could have been, could never have held forth this, so much as meer∣ly this proclaimation that God hath sent his Son into the world to die for mans sin: this holds it forth, and proclaims it (with the loudest voice that possible can be) that God is infinitly willing to be reconciled unto sin∣ners.
