III. Therefore I am in the third place to open a little further this grace of God, the doctrine of Reconciliation, and it is a most blessed, and sweet doctrine, especially in these times wherein there are so many Combustions abroad in the world, wherein we hear of Wars and rumours of Wars, yea, of Wars near to us, even in our own land, our bowels, what can be more acceptable in such times as these, than to hear of Reconciliation; Now when things are grown to such a height, when there is such a deadly hatred (for let me tell you, there was never such a deadly hatred in a Nation between one party, and another, as there is now) it is boiled up to the highest; as poison, may be boiled up to such a height, as that it may be death to touch it: so the poison, and rage of our adversaries is boiled up to the ⟨p. 18⟩greatest height. But though we are not able to Conceive that there can be a Reconciliation between them and us, yet there may be a possibility of a Reconciliation between God and us, and the hearing of the Doctrine of Reconciliation, may quiet, and support our hearts against the fear, and trouble that we have in these times, wherein we have nothing but rumours of wars round about us yea in the midest of all these miseries which we hear of, as the effect of these unnatural broils that are amongst us.
