have cast themselves down at Gods Mercy-seat and humbled themselves at his Footstool That have turned unto him with full purpose of Heart and made with him a solemn Covenant That have took him to be their God and Father and devoted themselves to be his Servants and Children That have received Christ Jesus in all his Offices and stand bent to walk with him in all his ways And all this upon a holy change of Judgment and Inclination Not upon a meer fright and new sense of their otherwise dangerous Condition I will hope that many are Reconciled unto God truly That they are got to the end of their Greation the Enjoyment of God To the end and design of the Gospel and its Ministry Reconciliation unto him That they have attained unto that of God which is and will for ever be enough and even all unto them Enough in the absence of Creature comforts as the Sun is light enough without Candles or Stars Enough in the confluence of Worldly Troubles as the Preservation of Plate and Jewel is enough when all the Farthings in the House are stolen I will hope that many are saying most gladly to this effect There 's no Neutrality God is for or against every Man And every Man either hates God as if he were evil or loves him more then he allows himself to love his own Soul An hour or two agoe God was my Enemy and I his Now he Loveth mee and I Love him O what a Hell am I raised from What an Heaven am I raised to True I had a sort of Peace with God before but it was but a Presumption that I was dropping into Hell with I had the evidences of Hell in my Forehead while I had the dreams of Heaven in my Brain I had a sort of Peace with my Conscience but it was but a Truce One wherein it was all the while preparing torments for me Torments that have and would have more filled my Heart with anguish my Eyes with tears my Tongue with complaints My ease was but that of a drunken Sleep not the true one of sound Health The work of this day the work of my Life-time yea the work of my Eternity will be to bless and magnifie my Reconciled God and my Reconciling Advocate Christ my Advocate pleading in his own person what he has paid for me And the Holy Ghost my Advocate teaching me to plead it with God and with my self I have read that St. Jerome had always Christs call unto Judgment ringing in his head Reader Reader may his call unto Reconciliation be ever ringing in thine One of our English Martyrs dyed with his Pardon by him he would not accept it on the ill terms whereon it was offered But O burn thou not in Hell for not accepting the Pardon that God offers thee they are good terms whereon his Offers be made It is wonderfully low that God doth condescend in them Thou canst not say wherein thou canst desire lower Condescention 'T is reported that a Gentleman once prayed his King to give him leave and offered at a dear rate to buy his leave to come sometimes into his presence and cry God save the King And being asked his reason made answer that whether the King loved him or no he should gain enough by it if by that means he gat the report of being beloved much by the King Great reason there is for our fear that many Professors do aim at no more That they enter Church fellowship follow Ordinances open their Ears to Sermons and their Purses unto the Preachers and all to gain but the repute of being reconciled unto God Not making very Reconciliation it self their scope and drift the End of their Actions and as then it would be the Rule of their Desires Reader say that I warned thee against this most hyperbolical Folly I beseech thee Live for somewhat more than a Lye For somewhat more than a Name to live and that a false one also Wilt thou not be perswaded I pray thee Man think a thought or two of the short Continuance of this poor Name it self Of its very slight airy and smoky Pleasure I and of its certain attendant Torments For though thou tryest a thousand ways to disarm thy Conscience thou shalt not avoid it but shalt ever and anon have wounds that will marr thy Mirth And give thee Torments stronger then thy Delights If all will not move thee But thou hardenest thy Heart against all and art resolute against Reconcilement unto God What remains but that I say as a Pious Matron once did to a long Prodigal Son To this effect You have a long time grieved and plagued my Soul with your sin I have called counselled and begged you to Convert I have wept and mourned and cryed to God night and day Impatient of the thoughts of your Damnation But now being nothing prevails and I see no hope Now I do as I ought even sit down content I now consent to thy being Damned Let God destroy thee if he please in his Righteous Fury seeing thou wilt not accept of his Reconciling Mercy With all my Heart God do his will with thee It is said that by these last forth-coming Prints of the Mothers heart the Sons wicked one was broken That by these words set home by Gods Spirit he was Converted and became an eminent Servant of our Blessed Saviour God give alike efficacy unto these Lines of mine Heavenly Luther professed that the Article of Justification reigned in his Heart It is the more comprehensive Article of Reconciliation that I wish reigning in the Hearts of all the Ministers and Christians of England Some have called it the richest Vein in the whole Mine of Gospel treasure But as I hope I have proved it I boldly name it one and all Even the whole Mine of Gods Mercy and the whole Province of Mans Duty There are those abroad who count us narrow souls as many as confine our cares and pains unto this Argument But we think we have the Spirit of God to whom they pretend not and do walk at large while they understand it not God knows the Gospel testifies and the Day will reveal the truth I conclude with this appeal made unto all that have but any tolerable Religious eye-sight Whether a little Religion does not go a great way among them who make not Reconciliation their first middle and last work FINIS Books lately Published by Mr.
