he_o have_v so_o deep_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n of_o affliction_n he_o say_v now_o it_o be_v finish_v that_o be_v now_o the_o fierce_a indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v over_o take_v a_o little_a

it_o or_o else_o to_o save_v himself_o by_o swim_v so_o there_o be_v the_o stream_n of_o the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o god_n will_v not_o help_v a_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n and_o he_o can_v help_v himself_o therefore_o the_o stream_n will_v destroy_v he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o free_v himself_o because_o god_n will_v not_o and_o he_o himself_o can_v but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v skill_n and_o power_n because_o he_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n therefore_o though_o he_o bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v able_a to_o wade_v through_o it_o and_o to_o bear_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v deliver_v himself_o and_o all_o we_o with_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o

it_o but_o you_o will_v sink_v under_o the_o same_o for_o ever_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n in_o general_a why_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v pain_n both_o in_o body_n and_o in_o soul_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v three_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o special_a use_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o require_v this_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v only_o surable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereby_o adam_n have_v entrench_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o god_n the_o father_n every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n intrench_v near_o upon_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o provoke_a nature_n because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n therefore_o that_o divine_a justice_n may_v not_o be_v a_o loser_n there_o must_v be_v a_o punishment_n not_o only_o corporal_a but_o also_o spiritual_a for_o justice_n abate_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v justice_n to_o give_v every_o one_o his_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o honour_n belong_v and_o punishment_n to_o who_o punishment_n belong_v therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v be_v preserve_v she_o must_v inflict_v these_o punishment_n upon_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o our_o room_n the_o jesuit_n have_v devise_v a_o cavil_n against_o this_o reason_n say_v they_o it_o need_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v these_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o if_o he_o bear_v death_n it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o other_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n marvellous_a injurious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o for_o by_o the_o same_o right_n that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o
and_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v pardon_v they_o what_o will_v not_o a_o man_n give_v to_o be_v free_v from_o it_o this_o dotage_n be_v clear_o confute_v with_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o former_a truth_n i_o will_v only_o express_v it_o thus_o if_o christ_n suffer_v all_o the_o plague_n which_o divine_a justice_n require_v then_o there_o be_v neither_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n nor_o purgatory_n to_o be_v suffer_v by_o the_o faithful_a but_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v whatsoever_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v and_o therefore_o neither_o sin_n nor_o hell_n nor_o purgatory_n have_v any_o thing_n to_o lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n choose_v second_o it_o not_o only_o meet_v with_o they_o but_o it_o dash_v in_o sunder_o another_o conceit_n that_o seem_v to_o find_v acceptance_n with_o other_o for_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o all_o the_o trouble_n and_o misery_n and_o affliction_n either_o anguish_n of_o heart_n inward_o or_o misery_n outward_o they_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v punishment_n inflict_v upon_o the_o faithful_a be_v they_o never_o so_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a in_o themselves_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o faithful_a they_o lose_v that_o property_n and_o they_o become_v correction_n christ_n have_v suffer_v all_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o god_n the_o father_n will_v not_o require_v a_o double_a payment_n for_o one_o debt_n and_o therefore_o howsoever_o their_o grievance_n be_v many_o and_o great_a yet_o they_o be_v but_o chasticement_n at_o the_o worst_a and_o they_o lose_v that_o venom_n of_o plague_n and_o of_o punishment_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o sea_n water_n it_o be_v salt_n of_o itself_o and_o have_v a_o brinish_a saltness_n fret_v wonderful_o yet_o when_o it_o pass_v through_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o the_o

in_o themselves_o they_o be_v sharp_a and_o brinish_a and_o fret_v yet_o the_o heavy_a affliction_n though_o never_o so_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a yet_o when_o they_o pass_v through_o the_o merit_n and_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o retain_v only_o their_o cool_n cleanse_a and_o refresh_a nature_n object_n but_o some_o will_v say_v do_v not_o these_o thing_n befall_v alike_o to_o all_o as_o david_n say_v psalm_n 88.15_o thy_o terror_n have_v i_o suffer_v from_o my_o youth_n upward_o do_v not_o these_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o all_o the_o same_o poverty_n the_o same_o

the_o same_o plague_n that_o befall_v the_o one_o befall_v the_o other_o the_o holy_a man_n and_o the_o profane_v man_n partake_v alike_o in_o these_o wherein_o lie_v the_o difference_n then_o answer_n i_o answer_v the_o difference_n lie_v in_o two_o particular_n first_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v lay_v on_o the_o wicked_a they_o come_v from_o god_n anger_n and_o god_n require_v they_o in_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n unto_o divine_a justice_n but_o all_o the_o correction_n and_o chastisement_n and_o terror_n and_o trouble_n that_o befall_v the_o godly_a they_o come_v from_o god_n love_n and_o from_o his_o fatherly_a care_n a_o physician_n cut_v a_o man_n and_o a_o enemy_n stab_v a_o man_n the_o knife_n be_v all_o alike_o but_o to_o the_o one_o it_o come_v from_o a_o friend_n and_o to_o the_o other_o it_o come_v from_o a_o enemy_n so_o god_n do_v send_v affliction_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o to_o he_o they_o come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o father_n and_o to_o the_o other_o they_o come_v as_o from_o a_o judge_n there_o be_v no_o judgement_n be_v send_v upon_o the_o wicked_a but_o they_o come_v in_o part_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o divine_a justice_n faith_n thou_o must_v to_o hell_n for_o all_o those_o sin_n of_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v have_v something_o in_o part_n of_o payment_n before_o thou_o come_v there_o but_o to_o the_o godly_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v satisfy_v to_o the_o full_a and_o the_o debt_n be_v full_o pay_v and_o therefore_o god_n never_o lay_v any_o thing_n upon_o the_o saint_n so_o much_o to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n as_o to_o correct_v and_o amend_v they_o second_o all_o the_o punishment_n and_o correction_n that_o come_v upon_o the_o godly_a the_o lord_n so_o order_n and_o temper_n and_o sweeten_v they_o by_o his_o save_a grace_n and_o by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o spirit_n that_o they_o all_o work_n and_o turn_v to_o their_o good_a the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v so_o far_o shed_v abroad_o into_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n merit_n and_o so_o show_v therein_o that_o they_o procure_v good_a and_o comfort_n to_o their_o soul_n for_o ever_o but_o in_o the_o punishment_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o wicked_a they_o come_v from_o under_o the_o cross_n more_o harden_v and_o more_o blind_v and_o more_o fierce_a and_o rebellious_a against_o god_n and_o his_o grace_n but_o the_o godly_a come_v from_o under_o the_o cross_n more_o holy_a and_o more_o meek_a and_o more_o patient_a and_o reform_v in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o poison_n that_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n by_o a_o skilful_a physician_n he_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o know_v how_o to_o correct_v it_o and_o to_o take_v away_o the_o malignant_a quality_n of_o it_o either_o of_o the_o cold_a or_o of_o the_o heat_n so_o affliction_n of_o themselves_o be_v plague_n and_o judgement_n and_o they_o be_v able_a to_o harden_v the_o heart_n and_o to_o blind_v the_o mind_n this_o be_v that_o ahaz_n say_v the_o text_n even_o wicked_a ahaz_n this_o be_v the_o punishment_n and_o poison_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o it_o bring_v punishment_n upon_o they_o it_o blind_v their_o mind_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o a_o wicked_a man_n do_v come_v forth_o from_o under_o the_o curse_n he_o be_v far_o worse_a than_o he_o be_v before_o his_o heart_n more_o dead_a and_o more_o fierce_a and_o he_o walk_v more_o rebellious_o against_o god_n and_o his_o grace_n but_o when_o they_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o people_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n take_v away_o the_o malignant_a quality_n of_o they_o and_o all_o the_o poison_n of_o punishment_n and_o poverty_n and_o take_v away_o all_o the_o venom_n of_o sickness_n and_o disgrace_n and_o it_o be_v now_o a_o preservative_n and_o it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v afflict_v as_o david_n say_v and_o to_o have_v the_o poison_n thus_o correct_v and_o to_o humble_v he_o and_o to_o purge_v he_o and_o to_o do_v he_o good_a in_o his_o latter_a end_n they_o be_v the_o same_o in_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v unto_o the_o wicked_a but_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o quality_n of_o they_o therefore_o the_o conclusion_n be_v thus_o much_o that_o all_o affliction_n come_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o love_a father_n upon_o the_o godly_a and_o though_o they_o come_v in_o anger_n to_o their_o sin_n yet_o they_o work_v for_o their_o good_a and_o salvation_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o point_n of_o speculation_n and_o for_o the_o information_n of_o the_o judgement_n now_o let_v we_o

and_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o be_v they_o not_o give_v we_o in_o christ_n there_o be_v such_o venom_n and_o gall_n in_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n itself_o which_o slide_v through_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n here_o below_o that_o it_o make_v all_o the_o morsel_n gravel_n in_o the_o belly_n in_o a_o word_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n take_v away_o the_o venom_n and_o indignation_n of_o god_n curse_n which_o otherwise_o will_v bring_v a_o plague_n upon_o what_o we_o have_v and_o what_o we_o do_v enjoy_v how_o many_o rich_a and_o honourable_a be_v there_o if_o

that_o i_o have_v receive_v any_o blessing_n upon_o these_o blessing_n lord_n i_o may_v have_v drink_v the_o cup_n of_o thy_o wrath_n when_o i_o drink_v this_o beer_n i_o may_v have_v eat_v my_o

receive_v from_o any_o thing_n here_o below_o any_o good_a at_o all_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n and_o bless_v his_o name_n for_o it_o and_o say_v if_o this_o meat_n be_v so_o sweet_a than_o what_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n therefore_o love_n christ_n by_o all_o mean_n let_v all_o your_o word_n be_v word_n of_o love_n and_o all_o your_o labour_n be_v the_o labour_n of_o love_n and_o all_o

lift_v he_o up_o and_o say_v my_o heart_n be_v hard_a and_o filthy_a and_o my_o soul_n be_v destitute_a of_o all_o good_a and_o my_o sin_n many_o yet_o now_o i_o have_v some_o evidence_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n for_o it_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v do_v this_o for_o i_o muse_v of_o he_o speak_v for_o he_o work_n for_o he_o and_o do_v all_o for_o he_o in_o all_o misery_n and_o trouble_n sorrow_n and_o vexation_n temptation_n without_o and_o terror_n within_o love_v jesus_n christ_n therein_o though_o these_o befall_v thou_o yet_o the_o venom_n and_o poison_n of_o they_o be_v go_v and_o they_o be_v sweeten_v unto_o thou_o thy_o prison_n be_v liberty_n thy_o contempt_n be_v advancement_n in_o all_o the_o thing_n thou_o have_v love_n jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v procure_v these_o and_o now_o if_o you_o will_v not_o love_v jesus_n christ_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o who_o will_v you_o love_v nay_o who_o else_o can_v you_o love_v answer_v i_o will_v you_o love_v your_o friend_n that_o be_v dear_a unto_o you_o or_o your_o parent_n that_o do_v provide_v for_o you_o or_o your_o wife_n that_o be_v love_v and_o merciful_a to_o you_o you_o will_v love_v these_o as_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n you_o shall_v but_o love_n christ_n more_o than_o all_o these_o if_o you_o will_v love_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o father_n then_o much_o more_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o and_o the_o continuer_n and_o preserver_n of_o all_o a_o friend_n will_v be_v a_o enemy_n but_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n frame_v his_o heart_n a_o wife_n will_v rather_o be_v a_o trouble_n than_o a_o help_n but_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n order_n she_o therefore_o i_o say_v with_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 16.22_o if_o any_o man_n love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v he_o be_v anathema_n maranatha_n ask_v your_o neighbour_n if_o they_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v that_o soul_n be_v accurse_v until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o judgement_n curse_v he_o all_o you_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o all_o you_o devil_n in_o hell_n curse_v he_o all_o you_o creature_n and_o let_v this_o curse_n remain_v upon_o he_o until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n unto_o judgement_n and_o let_v these_o curse_n be_v seal_v down_o upon_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o when_o you_o be_v come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o this_o will_v be_v the_o plague_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o all_o that_o you_o have_v christ_n and_o mercy_n render_v to_o you_o once_o and_o you_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o therefore_o since_o christ_n have_v think_v nothing_o too_o good_a for_o we_o even_o his_o life_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n think_v nothing_o too_o good_a for_o christ_n but_o love_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o by_o all_o mean_n the_o lord_n grant_v we_o may_v finis_fw-la
