A Fourth is this; Was God beginning with us, and did he so begin with us? then let not us be backward with God, let us not hang off in any duty when God calls us to do it, but presently come in; let it not be long before we perform any duty, let us not stand out, and defer with God, and say, I will, and I will hereafter: certainly that Soul that comes to understand the goodness of God, how God began with us in making of peace before ever we had thoughts of it; it will be a mighty argument to put the Soul on to make hast to the doing of any duty which God calls for, and to be speedy in the Service of God, because he was pleased at first to begin. But we pass that of Gods beginning to be reconciled unto us, and come to that which is indeed the main in this point of Reconciliation in the Text; and even the principal of all the Doctrines that are in the Gospel; To wit, That God was in, Christ Reconciling the world to himself.
