5. You have an encouraging Captain, even the Lord Jesus, who is the great Peace-maker, Who is our peace when the Assyrian is in the Land, Micah 7. 9. He hath taken down the partition wall, he hath made our peace with God. Let the deeps of our civill war call upon the deeps of peace that are in Christ. Let us beseech the great Peace-maker to take down the great partition wall between King and Parliament, to make Father and Son of one mind. If Christ makes the peace, it must needs be good. Jesus Christ came into the world, when the Jews were in the saddest condition, in the depth of slavery (for the Sceptre was departed from Judah) and in the depth of divisions, for they had so many several Sects, as they could hardly tell what Religion they were off. In this sad condition Shiloh came. Let us beseech Jesus Christ to come into England in this low estate, and to bring peace with him, even that Christ who descended into the lowest parts of the Earth for our sakes, and whose love is a depth that cannot be fathomed, Ephes. 3. 17, 18. The deeps of our misery call upon the depth of his love and mercy, that God for Christ sake would pardon our abyss of sins both personal and national, and bring us out of our abyss of miseries, both personal and national.
