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

You will say; you have showed us these two things; that it is not God alone, and us, but in Christ, and us, that is reconciled. And you have showed us what a reconciler Christ is. And how fit. But for the third thing propounded in the 12. Chapter, hath Christ undertaken to reconcile us? Surely this is a great work to come and reconcile Sinful man unto God; Christ must needs undertake much in this? I will declare to you what Christ hath undertaken.

1 This agreement there is between Christ and the Father, He hath undertaken that he will Satisfy what ever his Fathers Justice shall require. As for example. If one should come to make a peace between a couple, and the one party hath extremely injured the other, and he that comes to make peace; he doth not only come and say, Sir I beseech you for my sake, pass by the wrong, and be reconciled unto him, though perhaps this may do much but this will not do the deed; and this is not the way of ⟨p. 83⟩reconciling God and us, for Christ (though he be dear to the father) only to plead, and Say, O father these poor Creatures have offended thee, I beseech the O father, be reconciled to them; no this is not all. But saith the Party offended; will you under take to satisfy the wrong that is done me? I saith he, who is the Peace-maker, I will undertake it all; you shall set it all upon my score. And certainly you will all conclude, that if he that comes to be mediator, and is dear unto the Party offended, shall not only entreat, but undertake, that whatsoever he would have of him, require what satisfaction soever he will, he will undertake to under go it all, especially if he be a man able to do what he promiseth: You will all conclude that this will surly make up a peace. This is the transaction between God the Father, and the Son. God looks upon man as being an enemy to him, and Christ he comes to mediate, yea, but saith the father; what will you do to make peace, will you undertake for mankind, will you engage to Satisfy that wrong that they have done me? Yes O Father saith Christ, I will do it, I will stand between thee and them, and undertake for them to satisfy all whatsoever thy Justice can require. And in this regard Christ is not only called a mediator in that place
