The Administrations of Christ’s Kingdom are tempered with infinite Goodness, Grace and Mercy. For tho’, as I said but now, Justice and Judgment are the Habitation of his Throne; yet, his Throne is also called, a Throne of Grace, in Heb. 4. 16. And accordingly, He is most mild and gracious in the present Exercise of his Government: in extending Patience and Long-suffering towards his Enemies: in doing Good to all; yea, even to the unkind and unthankful: in declaring his Readiness to be reconciled to Sinners upon their Submission to him: and in opening all the Treasures of Grace and Goodness to his willing and obedient People. And upon these accounts, he is call’d Prince of Peace, in our Context.
John Webb — John Webb, The Government of Christ Considered and Applied: A Sermon Preached at Boston, in the Audience of His Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Esq; the Honourable His Majesty’s Council; and the Honourable House of Representatives of the Province of the Massachusetts, May 31, 1738 (1738), pp. 14–15
