on_o god_n part_n not_o only_o against_o sin_n but_o the_o sinner_n eph._n 2.3_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n by_o nature_n certain_o god_n do_v not_o only_o hate_v sin_n but_o be_v angry_a with_o the_o

our_o nature_n it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v ascribe_v to_o his_o life_n in_o heaven_n as_o his_o death_n upon_o earth_n again_o the_o scripture_n make_v this_o reconciliation_n to_o be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o god_n love_n to_o we_o now_o if_o it_o do_v only_o consist_v in_o lay_v aside_o our_o enmity_n to_o god_n it_o will_v rather_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n than_o his_o love_n to_o we_o once_o more_o the_o text_n be_v plain_a that_o god_n reconcile_a the_o world_n to_o himself_o do_v consist_v in_o not_o impute_v our_o trespass_n to_o we_o his_o lay_v aside_o his_o suit_n and_o just_a plea_n he_o have_v against_o we_o so_o that_o it_o relate_v to_o he_o therefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a we_o may_v pronounce_v that_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o we_o to_o god_n indeed_o the_o scripture_n do_v more_o general_o insist_v upon_o our_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n than_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o for_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o we_o be_v in_o a_o fault_n it_o be_v the_o usual_a way_n of_o speak_v among_o man_n he_o that_o offend_v be_v say_v to_o be_v reconcile_v because_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o

lay_v aside_o his_o just_a anger_n we_o offend_v god_n not_o he_o we_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n usual_o say_v we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n two_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n it_o be_v no_o
