A petition for peace with the reformation of the liturgy, as it was presented…

He was first willing, and therefore died for you, and made the Covenant of Grace, and sent to invite and importune you to consent, and stayed for you so long, and gave you your Repentance, your willingness and desire. Question not then his willingness, if you are willing. It is Satan and unbelief that would have you question it, to the injury both of Christ and you. Come near, observe, believe and wonder at the Riches of his Love and Grace. For he hath himself invited you, to see and taste, that you may wonder. You are sinners, but he inviteth you to receive a renewed, sealed pardon of your sins, and to give you more of his Spirit to overcome them. See here his broken Body and his Blood, the Testimonies of his Willingness. Thus hath he sealed the Covenant, which pardoneth all your sins, and secureth you of your Reconciliation with God, and your Adoption, and your right to Everlasting Blessedness. Deny not your consent, but heartily give up your selves to Christ, and then doubt not, but your Scarlet, Crimson-sins shall be made as white as Wool, or Snow. Object not the number or greatness of them against his Grace. There is none too great for him to pardon to penitent Believers. Great sins shall bring great glory to his Blood and Grace. But strive you then for great loathing of your sins, and greater love to such a God, and greater thanks to such a Saviour. Unfeignedly say, I am willing Lord to be wholly Thine, and then believingly take Christ, and Pardon, and Life, as given you by his own appointment in the sealed Covenant. And remember that he is a coming. He is coming with thousands of His Mighty Angels, to execute judgement on the ungodly, but to be glorified in his Saints, and admired in all that do believe. And then we shall have greater things than these. Then shall you see all the Promises fulfilled, which now are sealed to you, on which he causeth you to trust; Revive now your love to one another, and forgive those that have wronged you, and delight in the Communion of the Saints: And then you shall be admitted into the Church Triumphant, where with perfect Saints you shall perfectly rejoice and love, and praise the Lord for ever. Receive now a crucified Christ here represented, and be contented to take up your Cross, ⟨p. 51⟩and follow him.
