Inference 4.
If Jesus Christ be the true and only Mediator both of reconciliation and meritorious intercession betwixt God and Men,1 how safe and secure then is the condition and state of Believers! Surely as his mediation by sufferings hath fully reconciled, so his mediation by intercession will everlastingly maintain that state of Peace betwixt them and God, and prevent all future breaches. Being justified by Faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Rom. 5.1. it's a firm and lasting peace, and the Mediator that made it, lies as a ledger in Heaven to maintain it for ever; and prevent new jars, Heb. 9.24. there to appear in the presence of God for us. According to the custom of Princes, and States who being confederated, have their Agents ⟨p. 94⟩resident in each others Courts; who upon all occasions appear in the presence of the Prince; in the name and behalf of those, whom they represent and negotiate for.
