MEDITATION. XXVI.

What sights may I see in my Lord Cru∣cified? Peace is made by the Blood of the Cross and all things Reconciled both in Hea∣ven and Earth. The Saints who lived and dyed before Christ was born, were recon∣ciled to God by the Blood of his Son which was to be shed in time; as well as Belie∣vers since his being manifested in the Flesh.

In Christ Crucified, the Anger of God is appeased, his Justice fully satisfied, and though the Christians debt amounts unto millions of Talents; yet justice acknow∣ledgeth that Christ his surety has paid it all. Look upon God in Christ, and you will see that Fury is not in him, through the Lord Je∣sus you may see his very Bowels, he does earnestly remember sinners, his Bowels are

troubled for them, and he will surely have mercy upon them.

Oh certain and comfortable Truths! That the Lord is the God of Love and Peace, that he waits to be Gracious, that he delights in shewing mercy, and takes pleasure in them that hope in his mercy, if that hope be accompanied with a fear and careful eschewing of what is evil in his sight.
