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

The next argument that shows the willingness of God to be reconciled unto sinners is this; The Lord in his word, doth use very powerful, and strong arguments to draw the heart to come in to be reconciled; this is that evidence; (I say,) that the Lord is willing, by the strong reasons that God doth use in his word to gain upon the hearts of sinners, to bring them in to be reconciled, he doth not merely offer mercy; he doth not merely set before the soul his mercy. But the Lord labours with strong reasons, motives, and arguments to persuade and gain the hearts of sinners unto himself; to come in to be reconciled unto him; as now when a man doth offer peace, it is somewhat, and when he doth it in a generous loving way of courtesy that is more: but then, when he doth send strong arguments, to persuade, & will not readily take a denial, but sends such & such arguments, & doth consider before hand what will be most likely to persuade the heart of such a man. What can I conceive will gain his heart most? What can I think? Suppose there should be a man, between whom & you there hath been a falling out, & you should know that when he is alone in his closet, he is thinking thus with himself; What arguments can I conceive may take the heart of such a man to persuade him: to come in to be at peace with me? what can I think may be the most prevalent? That will I certainly use to persuade him. But undoubtedly it is so with God. God looks upon the Children of men, and doth consider what argument will take their hearts most? the scripture is exceeding full of prevalent, & powerful arguments, to persuade the hearts of men to come in, to be reconciled unto God: [Arguments]
