Chapter 2 › Section 180: §. 180. Of Reconciliation made by Christ.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
This reconciliation is a re-uniting of persons at odds; It hath relation to a double estate, one precedent, the other subsequent.
This reconciliation is a re-uniting of persons at ods; It hath relation to a double estate, one precedent, the other subsequent.
The precedent importeth two things,
1. A primary mutual amity. 2. A breach of that amity.
The subsequent estate is a making up of that breach, and uniting again of those who were disunited. All these may be exemplified in the case betwixt David and Absalom, David entirely loved Absalom, but Absalom by the murder which he committed on his brother, provoked his father against himself, and thereupon fled from him; yet by the mediation of Joa• Absalom was again brought into favour with his father, 2 Sam. 14. 33. even thus stands the case between God and man.
