peace who hath made both one and hath broken down that partition wall between us we have not only peace with God through Christ but Christ is the very peace not only the peace-maker but the peace There was a middle wall of partition between the Jews and the Gentiles and between God and us Christ breaks it down sinne shall no longer be a wall of partition Having abolished in his flesh the enmity even the Law of Commandments contained in Ordinances for to make himself of twain one new man so making peace and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the Crosse. There was hatred between God and us Christ hath crucified that hatred with the nails wherewith he was fastened to the Cross he hath kill'd it by his crucifixion and now enmity being slain peace must needs be alive there is peace and reconciliation made You are come saith the Apostle to the blood of sprinkling whereas the blood of Abel cryed for vengeance against Cain the murtherer This blood cries for peace it out-cries all our sinnes sin hath a voice it s said The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah went up into the ears of the Lord Every sinne thou committest hath a voice to cry but the blood of Christ hath a shriller voice and out-cryes the cry of thy sins it is so preheminent it speaks for peace and doth out cry the voice of our sinnes the high Priest was a a type of Christ Numb 16. He must have on his frontlet Holinesse to the Lord as one which bears the holy one of the Lord standing in the person of Christ Moses saith when there was wrath gone out from the Lord unto Aaron ver 46. Take a censer and put fire therein from off the Altar and put on incense and go quickly unto the Congregation and make an atonement for them for there is wrath gone out the plague is begun So when the wrath is gone out the High Priest comes and offers up himself a sweet incense acceptable unto God And Aaron took as Moses commanded and came into the midst of the Congregation and behold the plague was begun among the people and he put incense and made an atonement for the people When wrath is come out from the Almighty and his Army is sent out for to destroy the Rebels now our High Priest stands between the living and the dead and offers up himself an oblation to Almighty God to make peace Look to the case of Balaam when the people had committed fornication Phineas executed judgment wherefore the Lord saith Numb 25.12 Phineas hath turned away my wrath from the people and if that one act of Phineas his zeal for the Lord in killing the Fornicators before the Congregation if this I say appeased Gods wrath for the whole Congregation how much more doth our Phineas who hath fulfilled all righteousnesse whom the zeal of Gods house had eaten up he is nothing but zeal it self and all that he doth unto his father is for our good How much more shall Christ pacifie Gods wrath who hath received the gash of Gods Sword upon his own body and would not have himself spared that he might do it As Jonah was three dayes and three nights in the whales belly so shall the Sonne of man be in the heart of the earth There is a mighty storme and Jonah is cast out into the Sea presently the storme ceaseth so Christ having suffered for us there is peace the storme is over Now follows in the next place in the Text By whom we have accesse by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoyce in the hope of the glory of God These are the two priviledges that a justified man hath he hath a gracious accesse unto God Suppose he be in a fault as who is not if any man sinne we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous These things have I written saith the Apostle that you sinne not but if any man sinne we have an Advocate with the Father c. This is the state of a justified man though he do by his ●elapses provoke God yet he is in the state of a subject though he be a disobedient subject yet a subject not a forreiner as before but now ye that were not a people are become the people of the Lord. A childe of God in the midst of rebellion is sub misericordia as soon as he is in the state of grace he is under Gods protection he is no stranger though he hath his blood about his ears and is in his rags yet he may come to God by Jesus Christ he may come boldly to the Throne of grace that he may finde help in time of need The Apostle in Ephes. 2.18 sets down twice the great priviledges Christians have for thorough him we both have an accesse by one Spirit unto the Father it s Christ which makes the way To have a friend at the Court is a great matter especially when a man hath need of him Christ is gone before us and he lives for ever to make intercession for us and we need no other Mediator thus he bespeaks his Father Father this is one of mine that I shed my blood for one of those that thou gavest me I beseech thee have pity upon him and I beseech thee give him audience Ephes. 3.12 By him i. e. through Christ we have accesse by one Spirit unto the Father in whom we have boldnesse by the faith of him and access with confidence I go not now doubting unto God I prefer my suit with boldnesse Mark the Apostle St. James If any man want wisdome or any other thing let him ask it of God that gives to all men liberally and upbraideth not it is otherwise with men when one hath done a great man wrong and comes to desire a favour at his hands Oh Sir saith he Do you not remember how you used me at such a time or in such a place That he is presently upbraided with ' its cast in his dish but it is not so with God he gives liberally and upbraids no man so there is a free and a bold accesse with faith and confidence by whom we have boldnesse and accesse let him not doubt or waver that is a notable place here is bold accesse by faith unto God and by that we may be assured of whatever we ask if it be forgivenesse of sinnes we may be sure they are forgiven if we ask in faith we may be assured By the way take notice of the folly of the Papists who think that a man can have no confidence or assurance that his sinnes are forgiven This is our confidence that if we ask any thing according to his will he heareth us Now is it not according to his will to ask forgivenesse of our sins Doth not he injoine us to do it Therefore what infidelity is it not to be assured of it And what impudency is it in them to go about to cut off
