In Christs carrying on the great Work of our Salvation before all Worlds, we told you of Gods Councils, as if he had been reduced to some straits and difficulties by the cross demands of his several Attributes: but Wisdom found out a way, how to reconcile these differences by propounding a Jesus, and in him Mercy and Truth met together, Righteousness and Peace kissed each other. 1That reconciliation was in the Counsel of God from all Eternity: but for the execution of this Counsel, it was now in the fullness of time, even at this time when Christ was born: Now in deed and in truth, in execution and performance, was the reconciliation of all differences: and of this time was the Psalmists Prophecy more especially meant: Mercy and Truth shall meet together, Righteousness and Peace shall kiss each other: 2and Truth shall bud out of the Earth, and Righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
