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

Saith God to the Devil; take him Jailer. Death is Gods Sergeant to arest him, and ⟨p. 174⟩the Devil is his Jailer, and they have him to prison, and there he must lie till he hath payed the uttermost farthing. But now Believers that have run upon the score: In the days of their youth, they were so much upon score. When they were Apprentices; so much upon the the score. Since they were married; so much upon the score. Yea, but when divine justice is ready to seize upon them, and arest them; Christ comes in, and saith he; let the man be freed, I will pay the score for him. As if a spend-thrift should run upon the score, and when he is arrested, and ready to go to the Jail, there comes some friend, and saith; deliver him, and I will pay the debt. So Christ doth. So that when our sins are forgiven, they are so forgiven, as that it costs much; our deliverance costs much. And this I note from the phrase in the Original text; for there it is thus; not reckoning, or accounting it upon the score: I have in many sermons opened the doctrine of the pardon of sin: therefore I do not intend •o dilate upon that. I will only give some few notes from hence that are most proper to this text.
