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

NOW before we come to answer the Objections, or to any application; there is yet something more to be opened unto you. [as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in CHRIST'S stead] as the heart of God is so set upon it to be reconciled unto sinners: so is Jesus Christ; it is true, Christ is God: but Christ, and God are here spoken of severally; Christ is the same God with the father: but he is God and man; God incarnate; God the mediator between the father and us: so that it will be exceeding useful to show how the heart of CHRIST is set upon Reconciliation of sinners to God (for the Apostle doth come in the name of Christ, as well as of God the father) now that the heart of Christ is in it; that appears in the understanding ⟨p. 351⟩of the great work of Reconciliation. That he hath undertaken it, and that so willingly as he hath done; Certainly if Christ had not been much set upon this work to bring sinners to be reconciled unto the Father, he would never have undertaken such a work, which he knew would prove so difficult to him, and he knew what it would cost him: but yet he took it willingly, and delightfully, and for that compare those two Scriptures the first in Psal. 40.7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the Volume of thy book it is written of me. It begins in ver. 6. Sacrifice, and offering thou didst not desire, mine ears thou didst open: burnt offering, and sin offering thou didst not require: then said I, Lo, I come: in the Volume of thy book it is written of me; I delight to do thy will Oh God. It is a Psalm of Christ, and a Prophecy of him, and that it is of him it appears plainly if you compare the Scripture in Heb. 10. at the beginning, and so on; there you have the Apostle quoting this very Text (only with a little difference in the word.) Now there are three, or four things that are here to be observed of Christ in his willingness to come, and undertake the great work of making Atonement between God and sinners. Mine Ears hast thou opened; that is one. Lo I come: and then, I delight to do thy will, and thy Law is within my heart. There are these four. Lo I come saith Christ to do it. It appears plainly that there was a Covenant between the Father, and the Son from all eternity that Christ should come in due time into the world, and take our natures upon him: Now the time was for Christ to come.
