he_o blame_v calvin_n for_o say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o damn_a and_o forsake_a man_n now_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o horrible_a conflict_n between_o faith_n and_o

their_o rage_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o dialogue_n and_o by_o many_o orthodox_n late_o cite_v 6_o the_o last_o sort_n of_o forsake_v be_v that_o which_o be_v affirm_v by_o mr._n norton_n namely_o that_o god_n forsake_v christ_n soul_n in_o anger_n as_o concern_v the_o fruition_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_n but_o in_o chap._n 4._o i_o have_v show_v that_o he_o do_v oftentimes_o leave_v out_o the_o word_n sense_n and_o make_v christ_n to_o be_v forsake_v concern_v the_o fruition_n of_o the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_n and_o this_o last_o kind_n of_o forsake_v

cross_n christ_n be_v not_o so_o forsake_v in_o his_o soul_n but_o that_o he_o still_o have_v the_o sweet_a sense_n of_o the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_n on_o the_o cross_n context_n for_o doubtless_o that_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n of_o a_o right_a interpretation_n 1_o christ_n do_v interrogate_v in_o psal_n 22._o 1._o why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o be_v there_o not_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o divine_a nature_n shall_v forsake_v the_o humane_a
in_o respect_n of_o outward_a protection_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o question_n but_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o inward_a man_n by_o any_o weaken_n of_o

19_o and_o also_o i_o shall_v now_o add_v another_o reason_n by_o confer_v it_o with_o v._o 24._o there_o christ_n do_v exhort_v all_o the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n to_o praise_n god_n he_o have_v not_o hide_v or_o turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o he_o hence_o it_o follow_v by_o good_a consequence_n that_o when_o christ_n say_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o he_o can_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n have_v hide_v or_o turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o his_o immortal_a soul_n for_o than_o he_o can_v not_o have_v exhort_v the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n to_o praise_n god_n because_o he_o have_v not_o hide_v or_o turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o he_o this_o very_a argument_n be_v also_o use_v by_o our_o large_a annotation_n on_o psal_n 22._o 1._o though_o i_o do_v not_o see_v

of_o grace_n thence_o it_o follow_v that_o these_o word_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o any_o inward_a forsake_v of_o his_o soul_n for_o

as_o it_o be_v about_o mr._n calvin_n word_n that_o mr._n rutherford_n hold_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o loss_n in_o his_o soul_n answ_n i_o grant_v it_o yet_o i_o say_v also_o that_o

without_o the_o least_o diminution_n that_o he_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o good_a of_o the_o promise_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o inward_a man_n though_o he_o may_v be_v and_o be_v deprive_v of_o outward_a protection_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o instrument_n because_o it_o be_v so_o decree_v covenant_v and_o declare_v in_o gen._n 3._o 15._o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v the_o divine_a nature_n to_o withdraw_v its_o protection_n and_o to_o leave_v he_o to_o try_v mastery_n with_o his_o combater_n satan_n in_o his_o humane_a

but_o this_o weakness_n of_o his_o say_v austin_n be_v power_n because_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v exercise_v power_n to_o leave_v his_o humane_a nature_n that_o so_o his_o human_a nature_n may_v suffer_v in_o obedience_n to_o his_o covenant_n but_o this_o be_v also_o to_o be_v well_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o divine_a nature_n rest_v or_o cease_v to_o protect_v and_o assist_v the_o humane_a nature_n it_o do_v no_o way_n withdraw_v the_o exercise_n of_o his_o inward_a grace_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v at_o his_o incarnation_n and_o at_o his_o baptism_n from_o the_o unction_n of_o
