THE PASSION OF CHRIST and the Benefits thereby BY Bartholomew Chamberlaine Doctor in Diuinitie 1 IOHN 1. 7. The bloud of Iesus Christ the Sonne of God purgeth vs from all sinne LONDON Printed for Thomas Pauier 1613. THE PASSION of Christ and the benefits thereby HEBR. 9. 28. Christ was once offered to take away the the sinnes of many and vnto them that looke for him shall he appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation THis Scripture found in the ninth to the Hebrewes written by Saint Paul as some thinke but sprung from the Holy-Ghost as the Catholike Church beleeueth plaine in words certaine in sense short in reading containeth two necessarie notable and large points The first is the offering of Christ and wherefore he was offered in these words Christ was once offered to take away the sinnes of many The other the comming of Christ vnto whom and wherefore he shall come in the second Branch Vnto them that looke for him shall hee appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation The first is for me being the doctrine of Christ crucified which onely is to be preached for the time also being the Passion weeke wherin especially it is to be meditated and for the most Noble and Honourable Audience being Christians which seeke saluation by Christ crucified no where else and therefore contenting my selfe with the first part at this present by Gods grace and your Honourable permission I am to handle the Passion of CHRIST briefely to auoid tediousnesse plainly to edifie all truely out of the Scriptures and I hope comfortably both to you and my selfe in this order First I will touch the things which went before his Crosse not all but some Secondly what hee suffered on the Crosse and what chanced about the time of his Passion thirdly what good wee haue by Christs Passion and how wee should meditate thereon That the Treatise may be to the glory of God I beseech you let vs ioyne in heartie prayer vnto God O Almightie c. THe bloudy and bitter Passion of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ God and man in the sixe and twentith and seauen and twentith Chapters of S. Mathew is largely and comfortably discoursed How he was betraied by Iudas with a kisse accused of the Iewes condemned vnder Pontius Pilate and crucified betweene two Malefactors his Soule being troubled his Heart grieued and his Body tormented with the nayling of his blessed Hands and Feet with the piercing of his gracious Side vvith the shedding of his most glorious and precious Bloud So the Sonne of God the Lord of Glory the Prince of Peace was entreated of miserable Miscreants So hee which knew no sinne was made a sacrifice for our sinne Now if the Vaile of the Temple did rend asunder from the toppe to the bottome if the Graues did open the bodies of Saints which slept arose if the Earth did tremble and the stones claue asunder when this vvas done how can it be but that we should be moued when this is preached Our Hearts may tremble to thinke of it so may our Tongues to speake of it yet we may reioyce in Christ crucified that by the vertue of his Passion our ransome is payed our wounds healed satisfaction for our sinne made Death conquered Sathan subdued Hell ouercome Sinne killed God pacified and wee to him reconciled And now to begin with those things which went before his Crosse may wee not thinke his suffering was exceeding great when he sweat bloud and that did Christ in mount Oliues being in an Agonie kneeling downe deuoutely and praying most earnestly It is an vsuall thing for a man in anguish to sweat but to sweate bloud and to sweate it in such abundance that euen drops like bloud should trickle from his Body vpon the Ground this is not an vsuall thing this was a strange thing this was proper onely to Christ this declared griefe vnspeakable paine intollerable And did Christ shed drops of bloud for our sins cannot wee shed one teare for the same O that my Head were a Well of water and my Eyes a Fountaine of teares that I might bewaile the vnthankfulnesse of the world The matter which hee had in hand was waightie the worke which hee had to accomplish was great the conflict strong the enemies mighty their assaults many The Worke was mans Redemption the Conflict was with Sinne with Death with Sathan with Hell with the Law and with the wrath of GOD. And would not those enemies so many in number so mightie in power so terrible to behold make a man to feare to tremble and to sweate If Christ had beene meere man he could not haue encountred with them but being God and man did encounter with them all ouercame them all lead them captiue all and hath triumphed ouer them all though it cost him drops of bloud with strong crying and teares What say I drops of bloud it cost him more that which was dearest vnto him his life before he could bring vnder so mightie enemies as man had and accomplish so painfull a worke as Redemption is and pacifie so great a person as is the most high almightie and euer-liuing God O man remember the drops of bloud which CHRIST did shed for thy sake for thy sinne for thy soule and for thy saluation loue him for it thanke him for it serue him for it all the dayes of thy life And thus much for the suffering of Christ in Mount Oliues Secondly wee may conceiue his suffering was exceeding great when being sorrowfull and grieuously troubled hee said My Soule is heauy euen vnto death When hee fell on his Face and prayed thrice O my Father if it be possible let this Cup passe from mee meaning his bitter Passion not that he was vnwilling to take it for in all things he submitted himselfe to his heauenly Father but those earnest speeches declared the heauy burden of sinne which lighted on him the painefull griefe which hee endured the grieuous paine which he suffered the great torments and terrours which hee sustained for our sakes The soule of Christ was from heauen heauenly neuer bespotted with any vncleannesse but pure without corruption notwithstanding it was heauie and touched with the feare of death in consideration of our sinne which had deserued death with an infinite number of miseries beside all which lighted vpon that innocent Lambe which neuer displeased God nor offended man that by his stripes wee might be healed And what an hell thinke we was Christ in when he prayed thrise most feruently to haue that bitter Cuppe passe from him No doubt hee felt the waight of sinne the Wrath of God against it the Iustice of God requiring punishment for it the power of the Law pronouncing condemnation to it the force of Death the tyranny of Sathan the torments of Hell which no tongue can expresse nor heart conceiue And this made Christ to say in anguish of Spirit My Soule is very heauie euen vnto the
