Now,1 Christ at his coming, taking our nature upon him, brings all into one again, he brings God and man together again, by offering himself a Sacrifice, by making full satisfaction to the Justice of God; and sin, which is the cause of his displeasure, being taken away, God being gracious, and merciful, his mercy runs amain on us, sin only separates between God and us, and that Christ takes away, therefore he is called by Saint Paul, Christ our peace, Ephes. 2.2 and the Prince of peace: he was qualified to be our peace, he was a friend to both parties, having married our nature of purpose, that he might, in our nature bring God, and us together, as it is 1 Pet. 3.18. Hi• whole work, was to bring us back again to God, from whom we fell at the first.
