Isa 27.8 In measure he debateth and stays his rough wind in the day of the East-wind He will not contend for ever Isa 57.16 nor be always wroth lest the spirit fail before him and the soul that he hath made But his mercy is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him Yea the end of God in afflicting is to manifest his Love He is angry that he may love angry a little that men repenting he may love them for ever What excellent declarations of God's Love are these to the degenerate Sons of Men yet as if all this were but a small matter there are yet greater operations of it Above all things the Incarnation of his Son Jesus Christ doth most eminently manifest the Love of God to the Sons of Men and demonstrates that he is Love it self 1 Joh. 4.9 10. Herein is love not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his only begotten Son into the world to be a Propitiation for our sins that we might live through him I speak of the common interest of all men in it It was brought to pass by God for to make his love to men appear He so loved the world John 3.16 that he gave his only begotten Son c. And Christ came and died in our nature for the world of Mankind and not for the lapsed Angels Which of the Angels can say To us a Child is born to us a Son is given He took not on him the nature of Angels Heb. 2.16 but the seed of Abraham The good Angels need no pardon the bad Angels are excluded from it and Man only hath a Saviour provided for him and offered to him in the Gospel upon terms highly just equal and reasonable Look at the Angels in themselves and they are noble Gold and Silver are the Monarchs of the world as one stiles them Brass and Copper the Gentry but Lead and Iron are the Refuse of the world What hath Iron in it Of how mean a colour is it yet the Loadstone refuseth all other metals and attracts the Iron to its self Thus the Angels are excellent and glorious creatures Gold and Silver as it were in comparison of Man yet Christ took not the Angelical but the Humane Nature how full of Astonishment is this An● all flowed from the Love of God to Man And what strange passages do concur i● the work of Man's Redemption All wer● done by the death of the Lord of Life he was in poverty that men might b● made rich and died that they might liv● who believe in him He was wounde● that they might be healed and bare th● curse that they might have the blessing and all this from the Fountain of Divin● Love 1 Joh 2.2 God so loved the world so admirally so unspeakably so inconceivably non but himself can tell how that he gave h●● Son to be a Propitiation for the sins of th● whole world And Christ so loved Men that he gave himself to death for them and what had he more to give It is th● nature of Love so to do where Divin● Love is in any height or perfection thoug● it be but in a creature it brings an extasie it makes that creature go out of i● self deny it self neglect its own profi● and pleasure and seek the Glory of God and to be taken up wholly in the Servic● of God This Love was perfect in Christ and this made him empty himself an● lay aside his Majesty and Glory for th● good of them he loved Here 's Divin● Love to the height and in its perfection and may bring to an extasie for the Love is such a Mine as is too deep and rich for any creature to fathom or count the value of it yet this the Love of God hath contrived and effected for Man And whereas some make an ill use of this Love to overthrow Christ's satisfaction If God say they so loved Man as to give his Son for him then he was not angry with him and if not angry then there was no need at all of a satisfaction to be made for him Though Love and Hatred that I may briefly answer it are inconsistencies yet Love and Anger may well stand together He gave his Son there was great love Isa 53. It pleased the Father to wound him and bruise him for our iniquities there was great wrath God's wrath was kindled against Job's Friends yet in love he directs them to atone him by a Sacrifice Job 42.7 8. God could not but be angry at the sin of the World and yet in love gave his Son to be a Propitiatory Sacrifice for sin Oh the vast immense Love of God to fallen Man in this particular Unto all this let me yet add one demonstration of God's Love to fallen Man which is manifest in giving his Word unto him both Law and Gospel which is made known at one time or other unto all Nation most hearty desires and entreaties to a●cept the same Ezek. 33.11 1 Tim. 2.4 He declares therein th●● he takes no pleasure in the death of s●ners but would have all men to be save and to come to the knowledge of t●● Truth He is troubled and grieved wh●● men slight and neglect the tenders 〈◊〉 Peace made to them Obj. Some will say Why doth God th●● permit so many to perish even the most Mankind and to lie for ever under his wrat●● How can this stand with such Love as G●●● declares to the Sons of Men Ans God's Love and Justice are n●●● inconsistent but can and do stand w●●● together His Justice takes place up●● those who despise the riches of his Gra●● and Love He might have stood up●● the first terms made with Adam T●● terms of that Old Covenant wee just a●● righteous All his Posterity were co●cerned therein to stand or fall in hi●● He sinned and so brought sin and dea●● upon all the World of Mankind By o●● man sin entred into the world Rom. 5.12 and death 〈◊〉 sin and so death passed upon all men for th● all have sinned Here God might have stood upon it and have held all men to the terms of the first Covenant which was death upon the first transgression and these terms he might have prosecuted to the utter destruction of all men He was not bound to make new ones yet this he hath graciously done and made a new Covenant his own Son a second Adam the Head and Mediator of this Covenant He is freely offered and tendred in the Gospel to the Sons of Men Jam. 3.16 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life If men refuse and reject the tenders of Salvation as the most do their destruction is of themselves and the Love of God appears more in saying the remnant that believe than any severity in destroying the rest especially considering he is not the cause of their sin but is grieved that they will not
