CHAP. 62. The Second Argument: Manifesting the exceeding willingness of God and Christ to be reconciled to sinners.
Secondly, God hath manifested himself very willing to be reconciled unto sinners in this; that he hath made it to be the great Master-piece of all his works to provide a way for Reconciliation of thee unto him. The Lord hath wrought so wonderfully for the children of men, rather than for Angels, in sending his Son, & making of him a curse for our sins. In this the Lord proclaims a loud voice to all the world; O! be it known to all you sinners that I am willing to be reconciled to you. We need not name Scripture for this, for the whole Doctrine of the Gospel is full of this; O! the heart of God is much in this work of Reconciliation; all the arguments in the world, all the expressions that possible could have been, could never have held forth this, so much as merely this proclamation that God hath sent his Son into the world to die for mans sin: this holds it forth, and proclaims it (with the loudest voice that possible can be) that God is infinitely willing to be reconciled unto sinners.
