the_o new_a covenant_n 6._o give_v you_o some_o doctrinal_a corollary_n and_o practical_a duty_n that_o do_v flow_v from_o hence_o 1._o and_o first_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o a_o mediator_n that_o be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v to_o make_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o we_o at_o the_o first_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n there_o be_v peace_n and_o friendship_n between_o god_n and_o man_n there_o be_v no_o enmity_n in_o god_n heart_n towards_o his_o creature_n nor_o no_o enmity_n in_o man_n heart_n towards_o his_o creator_n but_o upon_o the_o fall_n a_o breach_n and_o separation_n be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o we_o insomuch_o as_o we_o be_v all_o by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n god_n be_v angry_a and_o a_o enmity_n be_v in_o we_o towards_o god_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n now_o therefore_o the_o work_n of_o a_o mediator_n be_v to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o and_o to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n both_o which_o you_o have_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o all_o thing_n be_v of_o god_n who_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v give_v to_o we_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n unto_o himself_o there_o be_v reconciliation_n on_o god_n part_n for_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n unto_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n unto_o they_o then_o at_o the_o 20._o verse_n you_o have_v reconciliation_n on_o our_o part_n now_o then_o we_o be_v ambassador_n for_o christ_n as_o though_o god_n do_v beseech_v you_o by_o we_o we_o pray_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n be_v ●e_n reconcile_v unto_o god_n here_o be_v both_o reconciliation_n only_o you_o must_v know_v that_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o express_a term_n in_o scripture_n that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o but_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o because_o we_o be_v the_o party_n offend_v and_o god_n the_o party_n offend_v now_o the_o scripture_n always_o speak_v so_o that_o the_o party_n offend_v be_v to_o reconcile_v himself_o or_o to_o be_v reconcile_v as_o in_o the_o 5._o of_o math._n if_o thy_o brother_n have_v aught_o against_o thou_o leave_v thy_o gift_n and_o first_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n thou_o that_o have_v offend_v go_v and_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n and_o so_o we_o say_v in_o ordinary_a speech_n if_o a_o man_n have_v just_o provoke_v another_o go_v and_o reconcile_v yourself_o unto_o he_o that_o be_v do_v that_o whereby_o he_o may_v be_v pacify_v and_o satisfy_v and_o so_o god_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o we_o when_o we_o do_v that_o whereby_o his_o anger_n may_v be_v turn_v away_o and_o he_o pacify_v which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o mediator_n quest_n but_o what_o need_v a_o mediator_n for_o this_o work_n say_v the_o socinian_o for_o god_n be_v always_o willing_a to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o son_n he_o love_v they_o first_o before_o christ_n what_o need_v a_o mediator_n then_o say_v they_o and_o say_v the_o arminian_o to_o invalidate_v and_o inervate_a election_n if_o we_o be_v elect_v and_o so_o love_v from_o all_o eternity_n what_o need_v a_o mediator_n to_o bring_v about_o actual_a reconciliation_n in_o time_n to_o all_o which_o i_o answer_v answ_n yes_o very_o much_o for_o first_o you_o must_v know_v that_o affection_n be_v give●_n to_o god_n in_o scripture_n according_a to_o effect_n and_o dispensation_n sometime_o sometime_o god_n be_v say_v to_o love_n or_o hate_v in_o reference_n to_o his_o eternal_a decree_n so_o rom._n 9_o jacob_n ha●_n i_o love_v and_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v before_o they_o have_v do●_n good_a or_o evil_n some_o time_n god_n be_v say_v to_o love_n or_o to_o be_v angr●_n or_o to_o hate_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o dispensation_n and_o so_o the_o elect_n that_o be_v love_v from_o all_o eternity_n be_v bear_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n in_o regard_n of_o legal_a dispensation_n elect_a we_o be_v and_o so_o love_v in_o regard_n of_o god_n eternal_a good_a will_n and_o yet_o under_o wrath_n when_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o regard_n of_o legal_a dispensation_n 2._o you_o must_v know_v that_o this_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n or_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o do_v not_o make_v a_o real_a change_n in_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o outward_a dispensation_n of_o god_n 3._o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o god_n may_v be_v willing_a to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o eternal_a good_a will_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v actual_o reconcile_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o dispensation_n as_o david_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o absolom_n but_o he_o be_v not_o actual_o reconcile_v and_o therefore_o joab_n come_v as_o a_o mediator_n between_o they_o to_o bring_v about_o the_o actual_a reconciliation_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o last_o of_o job_n you_o will_v find_v as_o macovius_n do_v well_o observe_v to_o the_o purpose_n in_o hand_n that_o when_o god_n be_v very_o angry_a with_o eliphaz_n and_o his_o friend_n insomuch_o as_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o eliphaz_n at_o the_o seven_o verse_n my_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o thou_o and_o against_o thy_o two_o friend_n that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o than_o god_n put_v they_o upon_o a_o mean_n of_o take_v away_o his_o displeasure_n therefore_o take_v unto_o you_o now_o seven_o bullock_n and_o seven_o ram_n and_o go_v to_o my_o servant_n job_n and_o offer_v up_o for_o yourselves_o a_o burn_a offering_n and_o my_o servant_n job_n shall_v pray_v for_o you_o and_o mediate_v for_o you_o so_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o his_o wrath_n kindle_v yet_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o find_v out_o a_o mediator_n to_o bring_v about_o this_o actual_a reconciliation_n and_o so_o here_o although_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o his_o own_o elect_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o dispensation_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o be_v reconcile_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o eternal_a good_a will_n but_o 4._o you_o must_v know_v this_o also_o that_o god_n may_v and_o do_v will_v this_o for_o that_o sometime_o and_o yet_o not_o for_o this_o will_n that_o as_o aquinas_n speak_v for_o example_n god_n do_v will_v rain_v for_o corn_n and_o rain_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o corn_n will_v he_o do_v will_v rain_v for_o corn_n yet_o corn_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o will_n will_v the_o corn._n so_o here_o god_n do_v will_n christ_n mediation_n for_o reconciliation_n and_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o reconciliation_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n will_n willing_a reconciliation_n so_o that_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v what_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o a_o mediator_n be_v that_o be_v to_o mediate_v between_o god_n and_o we_o it_o be_v to_o reconcile_v god_n to_o we_o and_o to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n that_o be_v
suffering_n be_v your_o servant_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v you_o for_o you_o be_v christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o in_o case_n that_o you_o be_v under_o any_o spiritual_a

for_o his_o love_n to_o christ_n his_o son_n when_o he_o can_v praise_v god_n for_o his_o love_n to_o himself_o because_o he_o want_v assurance_n again_o if_o you_o will_v yet_o walk_v up_o unto_o

now_o make_v between_o god_n and_o we_o as_o at_o large_a in_o that_o 9th_o of_o the_o hebrew_n 2._o then_o also_o in_o those_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o sprinkle_v blood_n to_o

in_o those_o time_n they_o do_v sprinkle_v man_n person_n for_o preservation_n from_o the_o destroy_a angel_n when_o the_o destroy_a angel_n come_v to_o destroy_v the_o egyptian_n the_o post_n of_o

the_o old_a testament_n do_v divide_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n part_v whereof_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o altar_n pour_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o altar_n to_o oblige_v god_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o part_n of_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o people_n to_o confirm_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o to_o oblige_v they_o to_o observe_v

the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v be_v be_v satisfy_v christ_n be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o his_o blood_n shed_v

lay_v down_o his_o blood_n be_v the_o high_a obedience_n as_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o tree_n so_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o second_o

speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n why_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o personal_a blood_n of_o abel_n and_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o sacrifice_v blood_n of_o abel_n it_o speak_v better_a than_o the_o personal_a blood_n of_o abel_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o his_o own_o brother_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o

unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n and_o by_o it_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o speak_v in_o point_n of_o sacrifice_n by_o faith_n he_o yet_o speak_v and_o will_v you_o know_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o sacrifice_a blood_n of_o abel_n or_o than_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n thus._n 1._o the_o blood_n of_o
