mankind_n the_o dreadful_a give_v of_o the_o law_n his_o dreadful_a judgement_n for_o small_a sin_n and_o example_n of_o his_o wrath_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o eternal_a torment_n in_o

now_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o of_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v make_v we_o to_o see_v the_o evil_n of_o sin_n it_o shall_v be_v this_o if_o any_o thing_n

2_o another_o evangelist_n tell_v we_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v amaze_v mark_z 14._o 33._o that_o be_v when_o christ_n come_v to_o drink_v the_o cup_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o his_o father_n due_a for_o

man_n now_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o heart_n alienate_v they_o from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n quest_n now_o you_o will_v say_v what_o do_v you_o mean_v when_o you_o speak_v of_o the_o life_n of_o

the_o thing_n they_o converse_v about_o be_v high_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v more_o noble_a and_o high_a than_o other_o man_n as_o some_o child_n of_o man_n know_v no_o other_o excellency_n

in_o our_o nature_n this_o weaken_v we_o and_o will_v therefore_o make_v the_o burden_n of_o divine_a wrath_n so_o much_o the_o more_o intolerable_a to_o we_o for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o sound_a man_n if_o a_o great_a weight_n be_v lay_v upon_o a_o man_n healthful_a and_o strong_a he_o feel_v not_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o but_o if_o you_o lay_v the_o same_o weight_n upon_o a_o man_n very_o sick_a and_o weak_a through_o distemper_n of_o body_n it_o be_v grievous_a to_o he_o so_o here_o if_o the_o weight_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o grievous_a to_o christ_n that_o have_v no_o distemper_n of_o

off_o and_o a_o boil_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n how_o grievous_a will_v the_o burden_n be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o when_o god_n come_v to_o lay_v the_o burden_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o we_o we_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n at_o the_o best_a but_o through_o the_o distemper_n of_o sin_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o be_v more_o weak_a and_o more_o unable_a to_o bear_v because_o we_o be_v sore_o and_o have_v boil_v of_o sin_n this_o make_v god_n wrath_n much_o more_o dreadful_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o christ_n 3_o christ_n have_v absolute_a perfect_a patience_n there_o be_v

it_o sure_o there_o be_v some_o fearful_a burden_n in_o this_o some_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v lie_v and_o roar_v out_o under_o some_o pain_n and_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v great_a but_o have_v they_o perfect_a patience_n they_o will_v not_o make_v such_o dolour_n and_o out-cry_n it_o be_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o patience_n that_o they_o make_v such_o out-cry_n and_o manifest_v such_o sense_n of_o their_o affliction_n but_o christ_n make_v not_o such_o out-cry_n through_o impatiency_n 4_o consider_v christ_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o infinite_a deity_n to_o

be_v the_o captain_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o suffer_v hereafter_o and_o therefore_o he_o will_v if_o he_o have_v have_v no_o more_o upon_o he_o than_o that_o which_o the_o humane_a nature_n can_v have_v bear_v have_v manifest_v one_o will_v think_v abundance_n of_o resolution_n and_o magnanimity_n and_o not_o have_v cry_v out_o so_o and_o sure_o have_v there_o not_o be_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o deity_n and_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o it_o certain_o he_o that_o be_v the_o captain_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o suffer_v he_o will_v have_v manifest_v it_o to_o

all_o that_o ever_o do_v suffer_v be_v enable_v to_o suffer_v what_o they_o do_v undergo_v now_o if_o christ_n have_v that_o strength_n that_o through_o he_o all_o the_o martyr_n be_v enable_v to_o

whereby_o they_o be_v enable_v to_o suffer_v be_v from_o christ_n they_o manifest_v not_o that_o horror_n and_o trouble_n that_o christ_n himself_o do_v certain_o therefore_o christ_n suffer_v other_o

what_o christ_n suffer_v for_o thou_o the_o principal_a thing_n christ_n suffer_v for_o sinner_n be_v the_o bear_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o his_o soul_n his_o soul_n suffering_n
