REASON I.

IT is not the Will of the Great and Wise God, to appoint any Forcible Ways or Courses to bring Men and Women to con∣form to his VVorship: But Christ was pleased to Commissionate his Apostles (to whom he committed the Keys of his Church) to Preach and Declare the Christian Doctrin: And they that succeed them in their Of∣fice, are not by Might or by Power, but by gentle Invitation, and the Influence of his kind Spirit, to inform the Judgment, convince the Conscience, and so to perswade the Children of Men to be Reconciled unto God. And who is Man, that he should take another course, and will not rest in God's wisdom? Now we are Ambass••dors for Christ, as though God did beseech you through us; we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God.
