who_o do_v in_o his_o great_a exercise_n of_o affliction_n send_v up_o his_o roar_a cry_n of_o charity_n unto_o thou_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o 1._o now_o concern_v this_o place_n we_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o this_o cry_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o be_v not_o fictitious_a or_o feign_a but_o most_o real_a and_o true_a and_o not_o only_o of_o the_o mouth_n but_o also_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o all_o the_o humane_a force_n and_o power_n for_o christ_n at_o this_o hour_n have_v strip_v himself_o of_o god_n not_o by_o cast_v he_o away_o but_o by_o not_o perceive_v and_o feel_v he_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o pure_a man_n it_o be_v true_o and_o overmuch_o a_o humane_a voice_n proceed_v from_o humane_a affection_n so_o to_o complain_v why_o god_n shall_v forsake_v he_o and_o why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v wicked_a man_n to_o do_v so_o much_o so_o david_n i_o be_v envious_a at_o the_o foolish_a when_o i_o see_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a psalm_n 73._o and_o jeremiah_n why_o do_v the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a prosper_v jer._n 12._o and_o habbakuk_n why_o do_v thou_o show_v i_o iniquity_n and_o cause_v i_o to_o behold_v

treacherous_o and_o hole_v thy_o tongue_n when_o the_o wicked_a devour_v the_o man_n that_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o he_o hab._n 1.13_o thus_o christ_n speak_v here_o out_o of_o humane_a affection_n and_o so_o he_o do_v sufficient_o show_v his_o true_a humanity_n when_o he_o pray_v before_o in_o the_o garden_n but_o this_o miserable_a cry_n do_v much_o more_o clear_o show_v the_o same_o against_o such_o heretic_n as_o shall_v after_o spring_v up_o deny_v his_o humane_a nature_n let_v none_o therefore_o be_v offend_v at_o this_o complaint_n which_o be_v true_o humane_a but_o let_v every_o one_o think_v with_o himself_o that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v here_o true_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n phil._n 2._o these_o thing_n be_v try_v and_o prove_v on_o the_o cross_n by_o death_n and_o the_o pure_a humanity_n but_o after_o three_o day_n you_o shall_v see_v and_o find_v much_o other_o thing_n when_o the_o new_a and_o live_v and_o cheerful_a body_n shall_v rise_v out_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n so_o than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v gird_v with_o great_a gladness_n so_o he_o be_v also_o composs_v with_o extreme_a sorrow_n and_o as_o he_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o high_a truth_n so_o he_o be_v beset_v with_o the_o deep_a and_o low_a infirmity_n and_o as_o he_o spend_v his_o life_n in_o the_o great_a peace_n so_o he_o live_v also_o in_o sore_a trouble_n i_o say_v as_o christ_n enjoy_v the_o sweetness_n of_o life_n so_o he_o taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n 2._o observe_v that_o that_o desertion_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o fear_n and_o dread_n of_o our_o conscience_n for_o sin_n which_o we_o commit_v which_o do_v find_v and_o feel_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o eternal_a wrath_n and_o be_v so_o affect_v therewith_o as_o if_o it_o be_v perpetual_o forsake_v and_o cast_v out_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o that_o of_o david_n i_o say_v in_o my_o haste_n i_o be_o cut_v off_o from_o before_o thy_o eye_n psalm_n 31.22_o who_o can_v but_o despair_v when_o judgement_n be_v reveal_v there_o be_v none_o can_v stand_v before_o the_o

so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v too_o loud_a for_o our_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o endure_v and_o too_o heavy_a for_o our_o humane_a strength_n to_o undergo_v and_o therefore_o it_o force_v a_o
