in_o their_o willingness_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o this_o be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o mention_v which_o have_v a_o great_a aptness_n in_o they_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n for_o which_o end_n our_o saviour_n do_v by_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o be_v mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o only_o reveal_v this_o but_o labour_n to_o possess_v man_n with_o a_o strong_a belief_n of_o it_o without_o which_o it_o will_v not_o operate_v on_o they_o at_o all_o towards_o such_o a_o end_n as_o the_o reconcile_a they_o to_o god_n be_v 2._o another_o of_o those_o motive_n by_o which_o our_o saviour_n by_o set_v the_o gospel_n on_o foot_n seek_v to_o reconcile_v man_n to_o god_n be_v by_o give_v they_o great_a assurance_n that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o desire_v to_o revenge_v himself_o on_o they_o notwithstanding_o all_o their_o provocation_n if_o they_o be_v but_o as_o willing_a as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v reconcile_v as_o that_o in_o case_n they_o will_v be_v but_o persuade_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o repentance_n for_o their_o former_a rebellion_n and_o by_o become_v real_o obedient_a to_o their_o power_n for_o the_o future_a as_o that_o then_o he_o will_v bestow_v upon_o they_o everlasting_a life_n advance_v they_o to_o such_o a_o state_n of_o happiness_n as_o that_o great_a than_o which_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n can_v wish_v for_o or_o desire_n and_o sure_o this_o if_o it_o be_v thorough_o believe_v will_n if_o any_o thing_n will_v persuade_v man_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n to_o this_o end_n our_o saviour_n have_v bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v by_o the_o gospel_n 2_o tim._n 1.10_o and_o by_o this_o motive_n he_o do_v almost_o every_o where_n in_o the_o gospel_n persuade_v to_o faith_n love_n repentance_n obedience_n and_o holiness_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n for_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o do_v our_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n consist_v st._n john_n speak_v of_o this_o in_o a_o magnify_v way_n as_o the_o great_a motive_n to_o man_n to_o entertain_v and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o even_o eternal_a life_n 1_o john_n 2.25_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v this_o that_o do_v invite_v man_n to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n to_o profess_v the_o christian_a religion_n at_o first_o and_o which_o do_v animate_v they_o to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o to_o renounce_v and_o forsake_v it_o and_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v by_o it_o they_o take_v joyful_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n know_v in_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v in_o heaven_n a_o better_a and_o a_o endure_a substance_n heb._n 10.34_o 3._o there_o be_v a_o great_a aptitude_n in_o our_o saviour_n set_v the_o gospel_n on_o foot_n to_o reconcile_v man_n to_o god_n because_o he_o thereby_o convince_v they_o that_o if_o after_o god_n gracious_a offer_n of_o be_v reconcile_v to_o they_o in_o case_n they_o will_v be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o and_o if_o after_o all_o that_o have_v be_v do_v by_o god_n and_o suffer_v by_o his_o son_n to_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o a_o mutual_a reconciliation_n between_o they_o they_o shall_v yet_o obstinate_o refuse_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o persist_v still_o in_o their_o rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n that_o then_o god_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v reconcile_v to_o they_o and_o from_o pardon_v they_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o willingness_n he_o have_v declare_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o they_o upon_o condition_n of_o their_o reconciliation_n to_o he_o and_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v to_o bring_v this_o about_o as_o that_o this_o offer_n of_o god_n and_o undertake_v of_o christ_n shall_v turn_v but_o to_o their_o heavy_a doom_n and_o great_a condemnation_n in_o the_o next_o world_n this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n more_o than_o light_n john_n 3.19_o how_o shall_v we_o escpe_v if_o we_o neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n which_o at_o the_o first_o begin_v to_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o and_o be_v confirm_v to_o we_o by_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o heb._n 2.3_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o tolerable_a for_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n and_o for_o tyre_n and_o sydon_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o for_o they_o that_o have_v refuse_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n when_o by_o the_o gospel_n send_v to_o they_o he_o have_v offer_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o they_o on_o condition_n that_o they_o will_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o lest_o any_o shall_v flatter_v themselves_o with_o vain_a hope_n of_o be_v save_v from_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o sinner_n who_o yet_o take_v a_o liberty_n to_o live_v in_o know_a sin_n without_o reconcile_n themselves_o to_o god_n by_o leave_v it_o off_o and_o return_v to_o their_o duty_n as_o too_o many_o alas_o do_v there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n reveal_v by_o christ_n to_o take_v from_o they_o such_o vain_a hope_n and_o to_o put_v they_o upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o choose_v either_o to_o reconcile_v themselves_o to_o god_n or_o to_o be_v eternal_o miserable_a 1._o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v so_o pure_a and_o holy_a and_o so_o contrary_a to_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o sin_n or_o to_o sinner_n while_o by_o it_o they_o be_v in_o open_a rebellion_n against_o he_o as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o change_v his_o nature_n and_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n this_o be_v the_o message_n say_v st._n john_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o he_o that_o be_v of_o christ_n and_o declare_v unto_o you_o that_o god_n

john_n 1.5_o so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o message_n which_o christ_n have_v send_v to_o sinner_n by_o his_o messenger_n it_o be_v as_o possible_a to_o reconcile_v light_n and_o darkness_n as_o god_n and_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o darkness_n that_o be_v in_o wilful_a sin_n and_o st._n paul_n will_v make_v man_n themselves_o judge_v in_o the_o case_n and_o appeal_v to_o their_o own_o reason_n say_v what_o communion_n have_v light_a with_o darkness_n and_o what_o concord_n have_v christ_n with_o belial_n 2_o cor._n 6.14_o 15._o and_o plain_o intimate_v that_o if_o light_a and_o darkness_n be_v irreconcilable_a and_o can_v have_v no_o communion_n so_o be_v christ_n and_o belial_n or_o a_o lawless_a man_n 2._o he_o have_v take_v away_o such_o vain_a hope_n from_o sinner_n by_o declare_v by_o his_o gospel_n that_o god_n without_o respect_n of_o person_n judge_v according_a to_o every_o man_n work_n that_o be_v he_o will_v judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o the_o right_n of_o his_o
