this_o history_n at_o large_a only_o we_o have_v thus_o far_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o garden_n first_o how_o heavy_a â—_o weighty_a a_o thing_n sin_n be_v all_o this_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n but_o for_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n next_o you_o see_v how_o heavy_a a_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o follow_v on_o sin_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n take_v on_o his_o back_n the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o do_v he_o also_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o punishment_n that_o follow_v upon_o sin_n if_o you_o know_v not_o this_o you_o know_v nothing_o of_o christ_n three_o you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o man_n that_o first_o take_v on_o his_o back_n so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o second_o so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n of_o wrath_n and_o all_o for_o mankind_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v never_o a_o man_n have_v be_v safe_a but_o these_o

especial_o set_v on_o by_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n there_o be_v none_o touch_v the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o this_o time_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n be_v fight_v with_o the_o soul_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o to_o mark_v the_o purpose_n of_o john_n his_o purpose_n be_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n die_v he_o die_v with_o a_o great_a willingness_n and_o readiness_n that_o willing_o he_o go_v to_o death_n and_o be_v not_o draw_v out_o against_o his_o will_n but_o know_v that_o judas_n will_v come_v with_o a_o company_n of_o

of_o john_n to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o except_o he_o have_v offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n his_o suffering_n have_v not_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o father_n he_o have_v not_o be_v as_o be_v say_v phil._n 2.8_o obedient_a to_o the_o father_n so_o the_o lord_n die_v and_o he_o die_v to_o
be_v obedient_a to_o the_o father_n that_o be_v he_o die_v willing_o at_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o father_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v obedient_a his_o sacrifice_n have_v never_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o what_o good_a have_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n do_v to_o i_o or_o thou_o or_o to_o any_o man_n and_o therefore_o hereupon_o be_v our_o faith_n ground_v that_o we_o know_v the_o lord_n jesus_n not_o only_o die_v but_o also_o that_o he_o die_v willing_o and_o so_o willing_o and_o with_o such_o a_o readiness_n to_o pleasure_v his_o father_n and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n as_o no_o tongue_n of_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v express_v and_o when_o ever_o thou_o settle_v thy_o heart_n on_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n look_v that_o thy_o heart_n settle_v it_o on_o a_o willing_a and_o obedient_a death_n for_o if_o thou_o think_v not_o that_o he_o die_v willing_o and_o chearefullie_o for_o thou_o thou_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n now_o to_o come_v to_o judas_n part_n judas_n know_v the_o place_n where_o the_o lord_n be_v he_o know_v the_o garden_n well_o enough_o because_o jesus_n

and_o how_o far_o his_o nature_n be_v repugnant_a to_o that_o call_n we_o will_v think_v that_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v most_o hard_a and_o most_o painful_a it_o be_v a_o

towards_o all_o man_n even_o the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o by_o the_o proof_n and_o experience_n that_o they_o find_v in_o their_o own_o person_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o call_v they_o and_o place_v they_o in_o that_o high_a call_n who_o before_o be_v so_o miserable_a wretch_n and_o so_o upon_o their_o own_o experience_n they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o persuade_v even_o the_o most_o miserable_a sinner_n to_o seek_v for_o mercy_n and_o grace_n in_o christ_n when_o paul_n preach_v where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_n and_o mercy_n superabounde_v if_o he_o have_v not_o find_v this_o by_o experience_n and_o have_v not_o stand_v for_o example_n hereof_o he_o will_v not_o so_o easy_o have_v persuade_v sinner_n of_o the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o the_o

they_o may_v have_v take_v hardly_o with_o it_o therefore_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o lord_n go_v about_o to_o encourage_v they_o to_o undertake_v it_o and_o to_o discharge_v it_o cheerful_o the_o argument_n be_v of_o great_a force_n behold_v say_v he_o i_o will_v send_v the_o promise_n of_o my_o father_n upon_o you_o that_o be_v i_o will_v send_v unto_o you_o the_o holy_a spirit_n
