endured and the causes of his mighty cryinges But thys also dearelye beloued though it were exceding yet it was not all no it was but a taste of griefe in comparison of the rest Behold if you can his person here and see the residue and so you shal know the loue of god His griefe was exceding to see all vertue godlynes so troden vnderfeete and it was yet more infinite to beholde Satan to preuayle against man to his euerlasting condemnation No creature could euer beare such a perct image of a man of sorow But the height and depth of all miseries it was yet behinde the synne that he hated hee must take it vpon his owne body and beare the wrath of his Father that was poured out agaynst it This is the fulnes of all payne that compassed him round about whych no toūg is able to vtter and no hart can conceaue This anger of hys father it burned in him euen vnto the botome of hel of the which anger the Prophet speaketh Who can stande before hys wrath or who can abide the fearcenes of his wrath His wrath is poured out lyke fyre and the rockes are broken before him When the Prophet was not able to conceaue the waight of his anger and his voyce cleaued vnto hys mouth when hee went about to vtter it the hardest of all creatures hee tooke for example that the hard rocke did cleaue asunder at the sound of his words And as is sayd in an other place suche a voyce as maketh the forlorne wildernes to tremble A voyce so ful of terrour in the eares and hartes of the wicked that the sunne shal be darkned at the sound of it the Moone shall not geue her lyght the Stars of the heauen shal fal away and the powers of heauen shall bee shaken No creature at all shal yeld his seruice vnto them the elementes of the world shall seeme to melt away This state of misery Christ entred into and soonke down deepe in this confusion and who can expresse his sorow Beyng full of goodnes he had the reward of euyl Full of obedience he was punished as wycked Ful of faith yet had the reward of a synner Inheritour of al thinges Lord of all yet nothing at all to do him duty The King of Kings and Lord of Lordes yet made an outcast and abiect of the people The ruler of all and God of glory yet compassed wyth shame and great confusion The author of lyfe yet wrapped in the chaines of eternall death The onel●● begotten of his Father hys best beloued yet cast off as a straunger and chasticed as an enemy The brightnes of glorye the beutye of the h●ghest heauens yet crucified in dishonour and throwne downe into hel O picture of perfect wretchednes and image of miserie how iust cause found he to cry out alowde My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Hys whole body and nature like vnto vs altogether broken with the reward of syn his soule poured out into all calamitie the wrath of his father and condemnation resting vpon him How truly may we here say and confesse the article of our faith He descended into hell How liuely do we see it performed that the Prophet speaketh of The snares of death compassed me and the paynes of hel tooke hold vpon me I found trouble and sorow This was the compassion that hee had toward vs by which he suffred with our infirmities more then Aaron or all the Priestes of the lawe could possibly haue done for vs If we could possibly cōsider dearly beloued as we shuld we wold gladly embrace him as the hie Priest for euer of the new testament when we shal be made of one fashion with hym thorow some measure of his afflictions to feele the waight of our own syns then we shall confesse what cause he had of complayning how dearely he hath bought the honour of the hye Priest Mediatour The Lord lighten the eyes of our mynde that with open countenance we may behold hym who for our sakes endured suche a death of the crosse We should not then neede many exhortations the remembraunce of the latter end would keepe vs safe from syn But let vs now see what the Apostle further teacheth vs whyle our sauiour Christ is in these great extremities what fruit of well doing he hath learned by it It followeth And although he were the Sonne yet learned he obedience by the thinges he suffered Loe dearely beloued this was no litle profit of al his troubles He learned therby how what it was to obey his father that when these thinges rested all vpon hym and yet he could say in meekenes of spirit Not my wyl my father but thy wyl be done ▪ he might haue great boldnes that his obedience was perfect The shame of the worlde the a●flictions of the flesh the vexations of the mynde the paynes of hell when these could make him vtter no other wordes but Father as thou wylt so le● it bee done what hope what faith did he surely build on that his obedience was precious in the sight of his father This example is our instruction We know then best howe we loue the Lorde when wee feele by experience what we wyl suffer for his sake It is an easy thing to be valiant before the combate or to dreame of a good courage before the hart be tried but indeede to bee vnshaken in the mydst of the tempest and to stand vpryght when the ground vnder thee doth tremble this is to know assuredlye thou art strong in deede and to say with boldnes thou shalt neuer bee moued This our Sauiour Christ might throughly glory of The heauen earth and elementes they were all his enemies his Father in whō hee trusted shewed hym an angrye countenaunce He that fainteth not but crieth styl Thy wyll be done O Father he may be bold of his obedience there is no creature can make him falsifie his faith If this be the fruite of our afflictions the Apostle speaketh not without great occasiō Accompt it for an exceding ioy whē ye fall into sundrye troubles For what can bee more ioyfull vnto the soule that is oppressed then to haue this in experience the neither heigth nor deapth shall remoue hym from the Lord. The glory of Abraham was exceding great whē he had sealed it with practise that hee would forsake hys country and his kinred and his fathers house at the commaūdement of God to go whether he wold shew him Then he knew by good proofe he was made worthy of Christ whē hee could forsake Father Mother house land and all thinges to come vnto him The patience of Iob was not throughlye knowen tyll all hys goodes were spoyled and he left exceeding ●are in that case when hee spake so boldly Naked came I out of my mothers wombe and naked shal I return againe the Lord hath geuen the Lord hath taken away as the
