who in the execution of that sinne knew neither Father nor Mother and therefore saith God He shall offer upon mine Altar chastil a whole burnt-offering Deut. 33.10 Though this action of the Father towards the Son was terrible yet pleasant to himselfe it pleased the Father to bruise him Chaphets the word notes the highest content that may be to wit delight which is the intention and strength of affection the emphasis of this word is best reached by another word out of the same mouth in the New Testament * This is my beloved Son in whom I rest 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 If the Lord delight in us he will bring us into the good Land Numbers 14.8 To the Saints in whom is all my delight Psalm 16.3 In both those places is this word Chaphets used That so very sad action upon Christ should be so exceeding content full to the Father is wonderfull The sad action of the Earlier upon the Sonne may be considered formerly or finally precisely in it selfe or in order to such an end in that former sense not joyous in the least because a conversation about sinne and punishment two of the undelightfullest things to God in all one world but considered in order to such an end that is his own glory and mans eternal good so 't was very pleasant to the Father to bruise and to griefe and to Christ to be bruised and grieved A skilfull physitian in some cases delights to contrive art so as to tag nature not simply but in order to such an end to wit the removall of some deepe malignity and so the ●●●●th of the patient Christ is a patient in the person of mankind and it pleaseth that great Physitian to contrive art so and Justice so as to tug Christ extremely and our corrupt nature in him not simply but in order to his owne glory and our salvation The end of the Fathers action is in his eye and the certaintie of this end which is another circumstance which causeth such content in the performance of it if a physitian be in any degree certaine of the good event of strong physick upon his patient this makes him with much content and delight to prescribe such and such ingredients though he knowes they will tug and gripe much when thou shalt make his soule an offering for sinne he shall see seed he shall prolong dayes c. Drugges shall not lie in him to kill him that is to make an utter end not an utter end of the person but of all evill that assailes it I know as if the Father had said when my Sonne shall be compleatly passive he will be compleatly active when he hath fully borne my wrath he will fully and yet legally command and reveale my love to creatures that otherwise can upon no ground pretend to it though their onely happinesse The issue of the Fathers action upon the Sonne towards the Sonnes of men is mentioned two wayes particularly and generally particularly and so two things are mentioned he shall see seed he shall prolong dayes He shall see curiose inspicere Raah it doth not onely signifie to see but to see plainely and to see wonderfully In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen Gen. 22.14 that is plainly there the word is used this word notes more then Nabat which signifies properly and simply to see or to looke and therefore the Kings Translators set forth the emphasis of this word above the other rendering it stare Psal 22.17 They looke and stare upon me staring is a kind of ocular appetite that is such a state wherein the eye is like the stomack sometimes mightie greedie and takes in species by thousands and yet cannot tell how to take off it selfe things that are taken in are so taking that is so great and so sweet so incomprehensible in all excellencie Staring notes a beholding unto wonderment all faculties at once looking out at window and utterly unwilling to shut the casement in the least that a full hold may be taken of what fully affects it thus shall Christ see seed plainely wonderfully he shall stand and stare upon the glorious births of all his travels he shall behold unto wonderment unto ravishment Thou hast ravished my heart my sister my spouse thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes with one chaine of thy neck Cant. 4.9 and yet Christ but personating us in this as in the former passivenesse we shall see plainly and wonderfully with him wee shall stand and stare with open eye and with open face beholding the glorie of God and his good will to man even unto ravishment which is their Heaven above and ours here below He shall prolong dayes or stretch out dayes Arach the word is used about the cloud which waited upon the Tabernacle Numb 9 19. which did stretch out it selfe every way and covered over the Tabernacle by which was shadowed the providence of God that stretcheth out its wings and feathers and covers us all over as a hen her young Man that was for life a beame of eternity his time is now shrunke a creature short-breath'd his dayes so short as not to be measured by length but by breadth and by the least of that dimension to wit a hand Behold thou hast made my dayes as a hand breadth mine age is nothing Psalm 39.5 Hence it is that man is put upon 't to doe all his worke of a day To day if you will heare his voyce to day if you will be for Christ Yea hence 't is that man is put upon 't to doe all his worke in one houre in a moment his time is so shrunke up Now is the accepted time Christ stretcheth out mans time and dayes againe to their full length and this is one of the wonders that he stands and stares upon this is one of those things which he lookes upon and admires to see Adam in Paradise againe living for ever which is admirable indeed He asked life of thee and thou gavest him long life even life for evermore And in this also personating us wee shall stand and wonder with him to behold our very glorious and never dying condition wee shall be ravished to behold our selves not as the flowers of the field which in the morning are and in the euening are not but as the herbes of Eden that garden inclosed semper vivens ever living who were ever dying Thus you have the particular expressions of the issue of Christs sufferings The generall followes which is the last expression in the text and indeed the sum of all and because so I shall sit downe here to give out from the Lord what I have to say The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand The pleasure chephoets * A derivative from the same roote in the front of the text will of the Lord i. all the will of the Lord.
