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

First, The great distance that is between God, and a Creature; I am a poor vile worm, and the Lord is an infinite, glorious, dreadful God. O! but that I might take off this dreadfulness from you, that that might not scare, and hinder you, therefore he propounds himself to you in his Son. If God should indeed speak from Heaven by thundering, and lightening, and call in sinners to come in and humble your selves, and seek to make your peace with him, that might scare you, and upon the sight of the distance between God and you, you might not dare to come in. But saith God; I call you now in my Son, my Son that came to be like one of you, and to be made sensible of your infirmities, it is in him that I offer you Reconciliation. This takes away the dreadfulness of God from sinners, and therefore a mighty encouragement. And though there be such a distance between God and us, yet there is a Christ between God the Father, and us. Though we be the poorest worms in the world, though we are mean, and vile Creatures, yet if we were ten thousand times meaner then we are, seeing there is such a Mediator between God, and us; this makes up the distance. Christ is such a Mediator as there is enough in him to make up all the distance that can be between God, and man.
