man_n do_v not_o desire_v it_o but_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n they_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v suffer_v the_o want_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n for_o the_o present_a though_o they_o will_v have_v love_v and_o close_v with_o god_n still_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v be_v content_a to_o want_v the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n that_o god_n glory_n may_v

may_v do_v it_o and_o god_n by_o reason_n require_v it_o that_o a_o man_n be_v sensible_a of_o misery_n yet_o according_a to_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n he_o do_v not_o

the_o hour_n of_o death_n he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o this_o end_n and_o therefore_o he_o submit_v himself_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o conclusion_n that_o whatsoever_o wrath_n shall_v have_v come_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o faithful_a christ_n do_v bear_v it_o all_o now_o the_o second_o part_n be_v this_o christ_n so_o bear_v it_o that_o his_o own_o sin_n never_o deserve_v this_o wrath_n of_o god_n nor_o he_o never_o sin_v in_o bear_v it_o neither_o be_v he_o overwhelm_v in_o bear_v it_o but_o he_o wrestle_v

now_o christ_n do_v suffer_v punishment_n in_o his_o soul_n but_o not_o so_o farre●_n they_o come_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n the_o cause_n from_o within_o be_v sinful_a and_o detestable_a but_o the_o cause_n from_o without_o be_v holy_a and_o righteous_a therefore_o all_o that_o which_o come_v from_o god_n wrath_n inflict_v punishment_n all_o that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v be_v so_o but_o the_o wicked_a have_v a_o cause_n of_o sin_n within_o they_o and_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o he_o need_v not_o to_o suffer_v and_o because_o he_o have_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o he_o do_v not_o suffer_v all_o pain_n of_o hell_n he_o suffer_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n wrath_n but_o yet_o so_o much_o of_o the_o punishment_n as_o come_v from_o sin_n commit_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o suffer_v second_o a_o poor_a creature_n bear_v god_n anger_n he_o have_v not_o only_a god_n anger_n se●ing_v upon_o he_o but_o also_o it_o overwhelm_v he_o because_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v

and_o this_o divine_n call_v the_o absolute_a damnation_n such_o a_o damnation_n as_o overturn_v a_o sinner_n in_o hell_n and_o crush_v he_o there_o for_o evermore_o the_o reason_n why_o a_o sin_n never_o come_v out_o of_o hell_n be_v this_o because_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o infinite_o satisfiable_a according_a as_o his_o sin_n have_v be_v infinite_a to_o provoke_v god_n for_o as_o adam_n sin_n be_v infinite_a and_o provoke_v because_o it_o be_v against_o his_o godhead_n so_o the_o suffering_n must_v be_v infinite_a now_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o infinite_a value_n but_o adam_n suffering_n be_v not_o of_o a_o infinite_a nature_n christ_n bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o wrestle_v with_o it_o and_o overcome_v it_o and_o come_v out_o from_o under_o the_o

for_o i_o well_o i_o will_v remember_v it_o and_o think_v upon_o it_o and_o i_o will_v lay_v it_o by_o i_o for_o ever_o the_o five_o conclusion_n follow_v and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o desperation_n of_o a_o damn_a soul_n in_o hell_n and_o the_o eternity_n of_o torment_n they_o be_v no_o essential_o of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o nor_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v

and_o other_o in_o this_o kind_n let_v i_o open_a both_o he_o part_n of_o it_o first_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n despair_n therefore_o say_v bellarmine_n if_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o second_o death_n he_o do_v despair_n and_o do_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n for_o ●vermore_o oh_o foolish_a creature_n who_o will_v be_v so_o wicked_a as_o to_o say_v thus_o therefore_o that_o you_o may_v see_v this_o curse_a opinion_n consider_v two_o particular_n in_o this_o desperation_n first_o the_o nature_n of_o desperation_n what_o it_o be_v second_o i_o will_v show_v that_o this_o desperation_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o second_o death_n first_o of_o all_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o what_o it_o be_v desperation_n as_o the_o word_n carry_v i●_n be_v to_o cast_v away_o all_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o any_o good_a this_o be_v proper_o to_o despair_v for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a thing_n with_o we_o than_o we_o be_v say_v to_o have_v they_o in_o possession_n

otherwise_o this_o be_v that_o which_o bear_v up_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o most_o heavy_a brunt_n but_o for_o hope_n the_o heart_n will_v break_v say_v the_o proverb_n and_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o in_o the_o great_a misery_n that_o can_v befall_v ●●_o and_o when_o we_o feel_v nothing_o nor_o find_v nothing_o nor_o have_v nothing_o in_o sense_n ye●_n hope_n say_v it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o and_o though_o now_o i_o be_o sinful_a and_o miserable_a yet_o i_o may_v be_v pardon_v and_o though_o now_o in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n yet_o i_o may_v be_v purge_v and_o sanctify_v and_o

who_o can_v follow_v it_o if_o he_o will_v say_v he_o be_v satisfy_v and_o well_o pay_v than_o who_o can_v take_v any_o advantage_n against_o the_o soul_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n of_o a_o manor_n haply_o he_o have_v a_o ill_a neighbour_n live_v under_o he_o and_o do_v he_o much_o damage_n many_o way_n and_o the_o noble_a man_n at_o last_o be_v resolve_v to_o follow_v the_o

and_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o family_n be_v against_o he_o well_o the_o poor_a man_n make_v they_o this_o answer_n i_o have_v wrong_v none_o of_o you_o therefore_o if_o your_o lord_n be_v

that_o god_n the_o father_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o manor_n even_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o transgression_n do_v against_o thy_o neighbour_n

caution_n be_v three_o first_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o scripture_n do_v speak_v concern_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n it_o mean_v they_o real_o they_o be_v not_o show_n nor_o semblance_n but_o in_o substance_n this_o i_o speak_v the_o rather_o to_o avoid_v a_o cavil_n of_o some_o which_o think_v that_o christ_n do_v only_o say_v so_o and_o do_v not_o suffer_v they_o real_o this_o be_v a_o

and_o so_o we_o can_v have_v no_o true_a foothold_a for_o our_o comfort_n second_o i_o say_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v express_v in_o the_o scripture_n we_o must_v conceive_v of_o it_o without_o the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o sin_n in_o our_o saviour_n therefore_o evermore_o maintain_v a_o holy_a reverence_n and_o a_o holy_a regard_n of_o the_o action_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o you_o may_v not_o charge_v he_o with_o the_o least_o inclination_n to_o any_o distemper_n three_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o compel_v proper_o to_o suffer_v either_o out_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o nature_n be_v weak_a and_o sinful_a for_o indeed_o sorrow_n do_v come_v proper_o out_o of_o our_o corruption_n and_o flow_v out_o from_o thence_o and_o as_o heat_n and_o fire_n go_v together_o so_o sin_n and_o misery_n go_v together_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nay_o there_o be_v no_o outward_a cause_n in_o our_o saviour_n that_o can_v compel_v he_o to_o suffer_v misery_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no_o but_o he_o do_v most_o willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o divine_a justice_n she_o take_v our_o place_n and_o become_v our_o surety_n and_o promise_v the_o payment_n of_o the_o debt_n free_o yet_o aside_o he_o have_v do_v thus_o it_o be_v necessary_a upon_o condition_n promise_v and_o he_o do_v also_o willing_o make_v it_o necessary_a that_o before_o he_o do_v suffer_v these_o punishment_n he_o shall_v undertake_v they_o and_o then_o have_v thus_o undertake_v and_o upon_o certain_a condition_n promise_v it_o be_v very_o

beleager_v with_o sorrow_n in_o every_o part_n and_o i_o will_v express_v it_o thus_o our_o saviour_n christ_n know_v god_n counsel_n and_o the_o hour_n approach_v and_o the_o throne_n of_o justice_n prepare_v and_o god_n as_o a_o angry_a judge_n sit_v thereon_o with_o all_o the_o book_n bring_v forth_o and_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n there_o lay_v open_a and_o god_n the_o

these_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o mercy_n and_o patience_n and_o goodness_n and_o holiness_n and_o long_o suffer_v and_o all_o these_o that_o have_v be_v

christ_n must_v be_v punish_v and_o he_o see_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o breach_n against_o he_o and_z seizing_z against_o he_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o even_o all_o the_o

they_o conceive_v that_o because_o he_o be_v in_o the_o agony_n therefore_o it_o must_v continue_v until_o his_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n i_o say_v no_o that_o be_v false_a for_o our_o saviour_n enter_v into_o the_o agony_n as_o into_o a_o combat_n and_o he_o that_o enter_v into_o a_o combat_n have_v many_o bout_n in_o it_o as_o there_o be_v many_o storm_n and_o tempest_n but_o there_o be_v

i_o come_v to_o fasten_v upon_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o sorrow_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o than_o can_v come_v from_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n and_o i_o shall_v

and_o i_o reason_n thus_o all_o the_o sorrow_n that_o come_v upon_o our_o saviour_n they_o come_v by_o reason_n in_o this_o cup_n that_o be_v from_o these_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n that_o he_o be_v to_o bear_v both_o in_o the_o agony_n in_o the_o garden_n and_o upon_o the_o cross_n now_o that_o cup_n which_o bring_v astonishment_n in_o upon_o his_o soul_n and_o fill_v it_o full_a of_o anguish_n and_o drive_v he_o to_o a_o amaze_n and_o not_o only_o to_o weep_v bitter_o but_o to_o trickle_v down_o drop_n of_o clod_v blood_n that_o cup_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o than_o the_o pain_n of_o a_o natural_a death_n but_o that_o cup_n which_o cause_v all_o this_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v they_o in_o and_o make_v he_o thus_o to_o be_v astonish_v and_o fill_v his_o soul_n with_o anguish_n and_o wrest_v clod_v blood_n from_o his_o body_n therefore_o this_o be_v more_o than_o natural_a death_n the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v undeniable_a namely_o that_o the_o agony_n come_v from_o this_o cup_n therefore_o the_o cup_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n and_o tear_n but_o to_o think_v that_o natural_a death_n shall_v drive_v our_o saviour_n to_o this_o

bear_v much_o more_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v so_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v more_o than_o the_o pain_n of_o a_o natural_a death_n in_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o saviour_n he_o that_o give_v his_o saint_n grace_n to_o bear_v these_o pain_n of_o the_o natural_a death_n he_o have_v much_o more_o grace_n in_o himself_o to_o bear_v they_o and_o to_o come_v
