the Actions doth it not extend also to the evil of the action to the sin it self A. To this I have in part returned Answer already Take it again briefly It doth However God be not the Author of the sin that is acted yet his Providence is exercised about it And that as I said 1. In permitting it to be done Which he doth not simply for it self In permitting it but in order to those just and righteous ends which he propoundeth to himself 2. And secondly in Ordering it Gods permission is not a bare Negative permission In ordering it a not hindering of the evill which is done but an Operative an Effectual permission so Melancton Dicitur autem permissio efficax non quod Deus peccatum efficiat sed Ordinem illius Alsted ubi suprà and Beza and some other of our Divines call it Efficax permissio not that God effecteth the evil of sin but ordereth it Thus did his Providence extend to this sin of the Jewes in crucifying of Christ which he so permitted as that he ordered it making it subservient to his own designs in effecting that great and good work by him intended the redemption and salvation of his Elect people And thus have I endeavoured to clear up unto you this important truth Which if I have not done so clearly as you could have wished let it be imputed to the depth of the matter and not to any affectation of obscurity in my handling of it To close it up with a word of Application Applic. Three Attributes of God shining in this Glasse Did God the Father thus give this Cup to his Son here behold and admire Wonderfull wisdome Exemplary Justice Vnparallel'd Love all clearly shining in this Glasse manifested and declared in this one Act. 1. Wonderfull wisdome Such is the wisdome of God which he hath manifested Won derfull wisdcome as in the work of Creation so of Redemption in finding out a way and means of restauration and salvation for lost Mankinde Which is effected in a wonderfull way such a way as all the wisdome of Men and Angels could never have thought of viz. by giving this bitter this deadly Cup unto his Son which being drunk by him might be a Cup of salvation to all that believe on him Were it so that a Physician could finde out such a medicinable Cup as would cure all Diseases who but would therein admire his skill Of such vertue is this Cup which God the Father gave unto his Son a true Catholicon sufficient for the cure of all soul-diseases in them who shall apply it to themselves through faith Herein admire we the wisdome of God in finding it out in finding out such a means whereby satisfaction being made to his Justice there might be way made for the full exercise of his grace and mercy towards forlorn sinners Never was the wisdome of God more wonderfully manifested in any act then in this Thence is it that the Apostle speaking of Christ and Christ crucisyed he calleth him the wisdome of God 1 Cor 1.24 We preach Christ crucified unto the Jewes a stumbling-block and unto the Greeks foolishnesse but unto them which are called Christ the Power of God and the wisdome of God A crucifyed Christ was and is to the Jewes a scandall a stumbling-block They having dreamed of a Temporall Messiah that should be outwardly pompous and glorious armed with power for their deliverance they could not indure to think of a crucified Saviour He who could not save himself was no Saviour for them He saved others himself he cannot save say some of them in a scoffing and deriding way when they saw him hanging upon the Crosse Math. 27.42 And in like manner he was to the Greeks foolishnesse who could not by all their supposed wisdome see any Reason why salvation should be expected in such a way from such a Saviour But to them that are called called out of darkness into light indued with a right understanding of this sacred mystery to them is Christ the Power of God and Wisdome of God so called in as much as the Power and Wisdome of God were wonderfully manifested in him and by him and that as in his Life so in his Death His Power in conquering his and his Churches Enemies Sin and Satan His wisdome in this way and by this means executing his most wise Counsell and Decree touching the Redemption and Salvation of his Elect people Here was wisdome We speak the wisdome of God in a mystery saith the same Apostle speaking of the Doctrine of the Gospell 1 Cor. 2.7 And hereof give we unto God the glory admiring and adoring it saying with that Apostle what he doth upon another account Rom. 11.33 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdome and knowledge of God 2. Aud thus beholding his Wisdome do we the like by his Justice Exemplary Justice which was also in this act wonderfully declared and manifested in God the Fathers thus giving this Cup to his Son His Son having undertaken for his Elect to make satisfaction for their sins he being thus become their Surety God his Father spareth not him but delivereth him unto the death So just so impartial is God in the punishing of sin not sparing it wherever he meeteth with it but requiring satisfaction to his Justice which because men of themselves are not able to make therefore he required it of this their Suretie 3. in the third place behold we here unparallelled Love Unparallelled Love Herein is love saith St. John that God sent his Son to be a Propitiation for our sins 1 Joh. 4.10 Herein is love 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that love God hath in many other passages manifested his love to his Elect people but in none like unto this his sending his Son into the world for their sakes and that not only to teach and instruct them by his Doctrine and Example but to be a Propitiation for their sins to redeem them by his blood to die for them Here was unparallelled Love as in God the Son in thus giving himself so in God the Father in thus giving his Son Herein did Abraham expresse his love to God in offering up his Son to him And herein did God the Father expresse his love to us in offering up his Son for us Give we unto him the glory of this grace Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost saith the Church in that ancient Hymne giving us to take notice that there is a peculiar glory which is due unto each of the Persons in the blessed Trinity And so there is from this work of Redemption Besides the glory which is due unto the whole Trinity whose joynt design this was there is as I may call it a Personal glory due unto each Person Glory to the Father for giving his Son Glory to the Son for giving himself and Glory to the Holy Ghost for revealing this mystery to us and in us Now give we to each what is their due As to Christ the glory of
