Gospel reconciliation, or, Christ's trumpet of peace to the world

Secondly, If thou wouldst know whether God, and thee be reconciled, then let me put this to thee: What Treaties have there been made between God, and thy Soul? for this you must know, that though there may be a Peace indeed made between God and thee, in some kind even from eternity (as I shall afterwards show you) yet before it come into thy heart, before thou canst come to know it, there must a Treaty pass between God, and thee. Reconciliation that is from eternity comes from Treaties between God the father, and God the Son, and that Reconciliation that in time comes into the Conscience, is a fruit of some Treaty that hath been between God, and thy self. As for example: When God would be at peace with a Soul, he summons that Soul to come in, he tells it that it is an enemy to him, and that he is going on in contrary ways to him. As usually you know when enemies come to a Town, they will first summon the Town before they storm it: So the Lord summons thee to come in. When did God ever summon thy heart? Hast thou felt the power of Gods summons in thy soul? Then again: Hast thou felt much intercourse between God and thy Soul? Hath God been speaking to thy heart, and thy heart speaking unto God? Hath God been working towards thee, and hath thy heart been working towards God? Hath the ⟨p. 44⟩Lord sent unto thee by his word, and hast thou sent up unto him by prayer, and as the Lord waits upon thee to know what thy answer is when he speaks to thee: So, dost thou wait upon him to know his answer when thou prayest, What have been the Treaties that have passed secretly in thy closet between God and thy Soul? Thou dost not go on in a dull way, and come and hear the word of God, but never hear the voice of God, but when thou comest to hear Gods word, thou hearest Gods voice, thou hearest him speak unto thee, Treating with thee about matters of Peace, and thou feelest Gods Spirit drawing thy heart, and telling somewhat of Gods mind unto thee: perhaps at this time, and for the present whilst thou art hearing, thou tellest God secretly by ejaculations. Lord I am willing to accept of those terms of Peace, and Reconciliation; I am willing to accept of the Conditions of the Covenant. Or perhaps when thou doest not this when thou art hearing, yet when thou art got alone, then thou openest thy self more unto God, and sendest a full answer unto God.
