'T is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This Cup 2 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which points at the grievousness of it This Cup 75 Psal 8. is a Cup of red wine blood full mixt with the fierce wrath of God 1 Lam. 12. for sin This Cup whoso hath tasted but one sup of it in the sence of Gods frowns to his particular sins may perhaps guess somewhat of its insufferableness to be drank clear off for the sins of the whole world This Cup wherein is squeezed the whole vintage of Gods fury due to the transgressions of all mankind This cup must our Redeemer take down dregs and all as he becomes our Sponsor to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows God laying on him the iniquitie of us all 55 Isaiah 4. This cup transmits most exquisite tortures into his Bodie unspeakable pangs of Soul 1. Exquisite tortures of Bodie His head was digged with thorns his back furrowed with the whip 39 Psal 3.

This Cup is aggravated by weighing the person that was to drink it For as is the person saith Bishop Andrews so is the passion Now Christ was the greatest person that ever did or could suffer and so likewise must his sufferings be the greatest if we consider him 1. A man in himself altogether Innocent Call it not immodesty in her sex or only a ridiculous and superstitious credulity to an idle dream but impute it rather to a good zeal raised in her by some extraordinarie Revelation that Pilate's Wife should send such a charge in his behalf to her Husband on the Bench saying have thou nothing to do with that Just man 27 Mat. 19.

He was and I can go no further God himself The creature so miraculously Sympathizing with its mighty Creatour in that great Eclipse and Earthquake at his passion 27 Mat. 45 51.54 makes the Centurion cry out truly this was the Son of God And the Son of God in that sense the Jews understood him 10 Jo. 33.36 Equal with God without any Robbery or Blasphemous Presumption at all What will you say did our Saviour then did he suffer such extremities he that was God himself must the Lord of life and glory in whose presence there is fulness of Joy 16 Ps 11. submit to a full draught of all Infamy pain and death 2 Phil. 6 7 8. If as the person is the passion be this argues again the bitterness of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this cup. 3. 3 The manner of drinking this Cup. The manner of drinking this cup aggravates its bitterness as 1. 1 Unaccompanied Vnaccompanied alone of the people there was none with him 63 Isa 3. His dearest ●isciples at this instant they all forsook him and fled v. 56. If Peter follovv it shall be far enough off v. 58. If he come into the Court vvhere his Master is arraigned abused c. It shall be with a great deal of strangeness protesting with Oaths and Imprecations that he doth not know the man v. 72.74 rather than by acknowledging him to bring himself within the praemunire of this bitter cup. 2. 2 Unpitied Unpitied from that nature he took and undertook for Man They for whom he became bound became his Executioners They for whom he drank this bitter

Had it been an Enemy had done this 55 Psal 12. it might have been borne but a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Thou my familiar acquaintance makes it intolerable Man spares not his Saviour but out of Spleen 27 Mat. 18. and pure spight crucifies him and beyond all humanity mocks and derides him in the height of his pains on the Cross 27 Mat. 38 39 c. with Railing wagging their heads and desperate provocations vah tu 15 Mark 26. Ah thou wretch To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed 6 Job 14. This yet affords some relief when it cannot deliver but on Barbarism as if some Savage Beast only were baited not the Son of God suffering here is insulting and triumphing all helping forward 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this Cup aggravating its bitterness 2. Christ drinks this cup unpitied from God himself as testifies the forementioned cry of Eli Eli c. My God my God c. Implying that God had for the time shewing his extream anger due to our sins which Christ now took upon him withdrawn from him the sence and vision of his comfortable presence Non solvit vnionem sed subtraxit visionem Leo. The power of darkness is let loose to afflict him The Influence of comfort restrained to relieve him saith Bishop Andrews in his 2 Ser. on the passion pag. 356. St Austin ibid. gives this reason why the Martyrs with such courage cheerfulness and singing most of them passed through their torments Martyres saith he non eripuit sed nunquid deseruit God delivered not his Martyrs but did he forsake them But here the Father gives the Cup to his beloved Son 18 Jo. 11. and leaves him with it My God my God c. This makes the Cross an insupportable burthen after this there is no living but an immediate yielding up the Ghost 27 Mat. 50. This like the most gross and deadly poyson lies at the bottom of the cup at this dismal and pitiful exclamation the Sun swounds 2 What Christs sensibleness of the Cup implyed in his Petitioning the removing of it if possible doth denote the Earth trembles the Rocks rent the Temple flies asunder Jesus expires 2. Christs Petition for the removing of the Cup if possible implies as the bitterness of it so his great sensibleness hereof to denote 1. 1 The Reality of his humane nature The Reality of Christs Humane nature See Bishop Hall's Paraphrase on the Text That only was it did shrink at this cup for though Christ God suffered yet it could not be as God St. Austin demonstrates this at large Sicut Philosoph c. Epist 102. pag. 295. 2. The sense of this cup 2 Sets forth Christs graces did admirably set off the graces of Christ wherein he became a pattern for our imitation in humility patience faith constancy c. All these are more seen when pain and affliction searcheth us so deep and ●ings us so vehemently than when by any forced generosity stoutness of spirit or any natural or Artificial helps whatsoever we bear against the sence thereof 3. 3 Argues the Reality of Christs sufferings This sence shews the Realitie of Christs sufferings for indeed without this they cannot properly be called sufferings They seem not much otherwise than the scourging piercing crucifying of a senseless body This makes a greater endearment of Christs love to us 4 This makes a greater endearment of Christs love to us The same that moves our pity moves our love now nothing attracts our pity more to any person than the consideration of the most sharp and severest sufferings felt by him The same draws a general love to Christ when I am lifted up saith Christ speaking of his passion on the Cross I shall draw all men to me Love is the most forcible way both to win and continue a subject hereby Christ enlargeth and establisheth his Kingdome and confounds the ugliness and detestableness of his usurping Competitor Satan who like a hard Master exacts of his vassals cruel services cutting slashing destroying themselves Whilst our Saviour like a gracious Prince offers up himself a Sacrifice for his people submitting himself for them to the most miserable usage of the vilest and most malicious Miscreants 5. 5 This argues the exceeding odiousness of sin The sensibleness of this cup argues the exceeding odiousness of sin For this God spared not his own only begotten beloved Son 8 Ro. 32. in whom with a miraculous voice from heaven he testifies was all his joy delight and pleasure 3 Mat. 17. Is God angry with Sinners do they ever feel the weight of his wrath So must Christ himself and that in the highest degree as he becomes the greatest sinner in the world by imputation 53 Isaiah 6. for if he will be surety he takes upon him the person of the debtor and the debt is made his Sin then must not be any slight or inconsiderable matter which put the Son of God so to it This should work in us a greater indignation against it our Riot and Excess brought him to this bitter Cup. 6. 6 This Justifies the damnation of the wicked The sense of Christs sufferings makes the damned to Justifie God in his terrible proceedings against them They feel no worse than what he hath already felt for them and they slighted it What God spared not in his Son can we expect him to bear within us 'T is true the merit of Christs sufferings calls for remission of our sins but on condition of repentance and amendment Jesus saves his people not in but from their sins 1 Mat. 21. we must be sanctified if we hope for Redemption and Salvation by his blood 1 Cor. 1. c. 30.5 Eph. 25 26 27. 1 Jo. 3 c. 2 3. 7. 7 This gives us assurance of a perfect satisfaction by Christs sufferings The sense of Christs sufferings gives us the greater sense of a full and compleat satisfaction thereby made to God for sin Sin hath already spit its utmost venom in that bitter cup which Christ so sensibly drank of One drop of this blood of God 20 Acts 28. cannot but make infinite attonement what must whole streams do so painfully shed Christs blood hath a voice 12 Heb. 24. and every Groan a louder accent in it to cry for mercy The more pain he endured the more pity and pardon he commands for us whom God made a Saviour perfect through sufferings 2 Heb. 10. Lastly Lastly This makes Christ sensible of our sufferings The sense of Christs sufferings makes him experimentally sensible of ours draws from him the greater compassion and succour towards us under them 4 Heb. 15. 3 Heb. 18. We have not an high Priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our Infirmities but one merciful and tender the more ready to
