O, go, and humble your souls and lament your sin, and lay down all those weapons of enmity against God which you have taken up. This sinner now cannot say; how shall I dare to look upon God, I that have been such a vild, and wretched Sinner, Surely God will destroy me, and consume me. No, the Lord propounds himself to you, a God or mercy in his Son, and ⟨p. 117⟩tells you, that he hath provided a means in his Son to be reconciled unto you; and that his heart hath been so much upon reconciling himself to the children of men, as that he hath sent his son to do this work and though it cost the very blood of his son, yet he will do it; and therefore sinner if thou dost not come in, but wilt go on in wandering from God and Continuing in ways of enmity against him, thy blood be upon thine own head. Thou hast read this blessed doctrine of the Gospel opened; that God was reconciling himself to the world; and that he was reconciling himself to the world in his Son; and that God excepted that when this message was brought to a Congregation; the whole Congregation should come and fly unto him; and that the world should be filled with Cries; O! that we might be Reconciled unto him. Our Lord expects this day from some of you to hear you reflect this upon your selves by crying unto him for Reconciliation in his Son; that should be the issue of such sermons as these are; God ever after such preaching looks to hear some soul repeat in prayer to God, and tell him what it hath heard in the Ministry of the word; and upon that make a prayer unto him according to what it hath heard. As in this manner; The Lord expects that this day some sinner, or other should get alone, and be crying unto God in prayer. Lord, I have heard, not only that there is a possibility for sinners to be Reconciled, but there is such a glorious way of Reconciliation, that thou hast done it in thy Son. Such an honourable way; and such a certain way of Reconciliation; and that thy heart is much in that way. And Lord I have heard, that this is a way, that takes away all objections in the world; all the discouragements that can be imagined; and thou hast revealed it to that end, that is, that thou mightest break the hearts of sinners, and draw them to come in, and accept of that blessed covenant that thou hast tendered to them in Christ, and to be reconciled unto thee.
