pray_v health_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o be_v art_n so_o far●e_n from_o my_o health_n four_o how_o christ_n be_v forsake_v of_o god_n that_o this_o point_n may_v the_o better_o be_v conceive_v let_v it_o be_v consider_v negative_o how_o he_o be_v not_o forsake_v &_o affirmative_o how_o he_o be_v forsake_v negative_o thus_o christ_n be_v not_o forsake_v any_o of_o these_o four_o way_n follow_v first_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v never_o sever_v or_o exclude_v from_o christ_n the_o man_n but_o it_o dwell_v in_o he_o at_o all_o time_n full_o coloss_n 2.9_o second_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n be_v never_o dissolve_v and_o so_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n never_o forsake_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n three_o the_o power_n of_o the_o godhead_n also_o be_v always_o present_a with_o he_o enable_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o full_a vial_n of_o god_n wrath_n four_o the_o gracious_a assistance_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v never_o want_v enable_v christ_n without_o the_o least_o impatiency_n distrust_n etc._n etc._n to_o bear_v whatsoever_o be_v inflict_v upon_o he_o for_o our_o sin_n thus_o negative_o christ_n be_v not_o forsake_v of_o the_o nature_n person_n power_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n how_o then_o be_v he_o forsake_v affirmative_o therefore_o he_o be_v forsake_v both_o positive_o in_o that_o god_n the_o father_n pour_v upon_o he_o the_o infinite_a sea_n of_o his_o wrath_n which_o he_o now_o feel_v and_o privative_o in_o that_o he_o be_v bereave_v and_o forsake_v of_o all_o comfortable_a presence_n the_o godhead_n for_o a_o season_n shadow_a itself_o under_o the_o cloud_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n may_v feel_v the_o intolerable_a burden_n thereof_o and_o thus_o christ_n be_v destitute_a of_o consolation_n complain_v that_o he_o be_v forsake_v but_o christ_n be_v thus_o forsake_v he_o sustain_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n strive_v with_o it_o and_o subdue_v it_o that_o be_v he_o deliver_v both_o himself_o and_o we_o from_o it_o and_o so_o perfect_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o if_o any_o man_n think_v it_o a_o thing_n unreasonable_a or_o rather_o a_o blasphemy_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v avouch_v that_o christ_n suffer_v god_n wrath_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n he_o must_v remember_v a_o distinction_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v make_v betwixt_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n christ_n suffer_v not_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n but_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n the_o pain_n of_o hell_n be_v only_o the_o sense_n of_o exquisite_a torment_n and_o the_o want_n of_o all_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n common_o call_v paena_fw-la and_o damnum_fw-la the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n be_v certain_a necessary_a consequent_n which_o follow_v the_o foresay_a pain_n of_o hell_n in_o the_o mere_a creature_n as_o for_o example_n the_o soul_n of_o judas_n now_o in_o hell_n beside_o that_o it_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o comfort_n which_o be_v a_o loss_n and_o torment_v with_o most_o exquisite_a torture_n which_o be_v the_o pain_n despair_v want_v faith_n hope_n love_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n patience_n and_o be_v affright_v with_o a_o accuse_v and_o gnaw_v conscience_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o be_v bind_v in_o everlasting_a chain_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n in_o a_o certain_a place_n which_o be_v call_v hell_n now_o for_o the_o application_n of_o the_o distinction_n christ_n if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o mere_a man_n can_v not_o have_v escape_v part_n of_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n when_o god_n wrath_n be_v so_o full_o pour_v out_o upon_o he_o but_o it_o shall_v have_v fall_v out_o to_o he_o as_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o reprobate_n but_o because_o christ_n be_v god_n also_o his_o godhead_n do_v infinite_o strengthen_v and_o grace_v his_o manhood_n so_o as_o none_o of_o all_o these_o accident_n which_o necessary_o grow_v upon_o a_o mere_a creature_n seize_v upon_o he_o as_o despair_v impatience_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o may_v be_v call_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n be_v neither_o blasphemous_a nor_o unreasonable_a this_o distinction_n of_o hell_n pain_n and_o damnation_n be_v admit_v thus_o the_o four_o point_n appertain_v to_o christ_n be_v clear_v now_o the_o other_o two_o concern_v david_n follow_v five_o how_o god_n forsake_v david_n and_o his_o child_n i_o forsake_a i_o god_n forsake_v his_o child_n two_o way_n principal_o first_o by_o give_v they_o to_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n in_o part_n and_o permit_v they_o to_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o some_o sin_n which_o wrack_n &_o torment_v the_o conscience_n against_o which_o david_n pray_v psal_n 119.8_o and_o christ_n teach_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o last_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n etc._n etc._n second_o by_o cause_v they_o to_o see_v and_o feel_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o some_o measure_n and_o for_o some_o time_n till_o humiliation_n be_v wrought_v in_o they_o thorough_o for_o some_o sin_n so_o david_n be_v humble_v psal_n 6._o and_o 15._o and_o so_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o some_o measure_n and_o thus_o the_o lord_n forsake_v david_n both_o by_o permit_v he_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o god_n wrath_n as_o a_o mean_n of_o humiliation_n for_o that_o sin_n and_o thus_o the_o lord_n forsake_v his_o child_n oft_o time_n as_o they_o have_v experience_n of_o which_o may_v teach_v we_o charity_n in_o censure_a man_n who_o we_o see_v strange_o cast_v down_o with_o fearful_a humiliation_n they_o may_v be_v nevertheless_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n although_o it_o may_v be_v also_o that_o they_o have_v fall_v into_o some_o grievous_a sin_n as_o david_n do_v and_o yet_o happy_o also_o this_o humiliation_n may_v grow_v upon_o infirmity_n with_o some_o tender_a heart_n and_o for_o such_o uncharitable_a critic_n that_o thus_o intemperate_o censure_v humble_v conscience_n they_o be_v to_o know_v that_o some_o kind_n of_o despair_n be_v better_a than_o hardness_n of_o heart_n six_o what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o faith_n here_o note_v i_o my_o god_n forsake_v i_o two_o property_n of_o faith_n evident_o appear_v in_o the_o prophet_n the_o first_o be_v when_o god_n forsake_v then_o to_o hold_v fast_o when_o god_n kill_v then_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o job._n 13.15_o who_o profess_v that_o though_o the_o l._n shall_v stay_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v trust_v and_o david_n else_o where_o say_v that_o though_o he_o be_v sometime_o afraid_a yet_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n for_o faith_n hold_v fast_o sometime_o when_o all_o reason_n fail_v as_o abraham_n rom_n 4.18.19_o believe_v a_o thing_n in_o nature_n &_o reason_n impossible_a that_o a_o woman_n of_o nintie_a year_n shall_v conceive_v with_o child_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a so_o do_v david_n in_o this_o place_n god_n forsake_v he_o &_o yet_o he_o call_v he_o his_o god_n the_o second_o property_n of_o faith_n be_v particular_a application_n whereby_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o meritte_n be_v appropriate_v by_o the_o believer_n to_o his_o own_o soul_n in_o special_a and_o he_o be_v true_o assure_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n &_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n ro._n 8.38_o joh._n 20.28_o some_o think_v it_o presumption_n for_o any_o man_n so_o to_o say_v and_o none_o have_v ever_o attain_v to_o this_o certain_a assurance_n but_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o but_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o there_o must_v be_v difference_n make_v between_o faith_n and_o conjecture_v faith_n be_v kowledge_v which_o have_v a_o certainty_n in_o it_o who_o genus_fw-la be_v scientia_fw-la conjecture_n be_v knowledge_n which_o have_v uncertainty_n in_o it_o who_o genus_fw-la be_v opinio_fw-la wherefore_o they_o that_o deny_v the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n and_o salvation_n make_v faith_n conjectural_a and_o confound_v faith_n and_o opinion_n which_o be_v absurd_a now_o indeed_o faith_n be_v never_o without_o doubt_v and_o yet_o faith_n be_v certain_a still_o for_o persuasion_n and_o knowledge_n be_v either_o a_o true_a persuasion_n or_o a_o full_a persuasion_n a_o true_a knowledge_n or_o a_o full_a knowledge_n as_o there_o be_v difference_n betwixt_o a_o true_a man_n &_o a_o perfect_a full_a
