〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hee hath borne yet doth it in the Hebrew For the one signifies Onus ipsum tollere the other Onus impositum goe stare as a learned linguist distinguisheth them Pagim that is to take vp a burden to beare a burden imposed and so both words may be well applyed to our Sauiour Christ For tulit he tooke vpon him the burden voluntarily Hieron in Esai 53. Crucem sustinuit voluntate non necessitate His death on the Crosse was voluntary not of necessitie according to his words in the tenth of Iohn Ioh 10.18 No man taketh my life from me but I lay it downe for my sheepe And portauit he carried the burden imposed as it is in the sixt verse of this chapter The Lord hath laid vpon him the iniquitie of vs all Thus as Saint Paul saith Rom. 8.32 God gaue Christ for vs Rom. Gal. 2.20 8. And Christ also gaue himselfe for vs Gal. 2. So may it be said that God laid the burthen vpon Christ and that Christ also tooke vp the burden For here mercy and truth met together Psal 85.10 God exacting our debt as a strict creditor and Christ discharging it as a cheerefull Redeemer And so saith S. Bernard Bern. panos Hebd ser 4. Christus inuita passivam habuit actionem in morte passionem activam sustinuit As Christ had a passiue action in his life so had he an actiue passion in his death it was voluntary His Burdens NOw to the burdens he beare and carried they were infirmities and sorrowes The Hebrew word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 infirmities signifies any corporall paine or anguish proceeding from some part that is smitten or hurt As in the tenth verse it is said Mich. 6.13 The Lord would breake or bruise him to make him subiect to infirmities and in the sixt of Michea I will make thee sicke with smiting Thus our Sauiours body was subiect Laesioni sensui laesionis both to outward violence and to the sense of it Though not respectu primae causae Aquin. par 3. quae 15 art 5. yet propinquae as the Schooleman saith Not in respect of sin inherent but in respect of the principles of nature For he voluntarily tooke such a body as was subiect to hurt and consequently to paine The word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 imports some sensible sorrow or anguish of the soule As his body was subiect to corporall afflictions Tulit corporis sensus animi affectus Leo de passione serm 7. Hier. in Loc. so was his soule to sorrowfull affections And so S. Hierome distinguisheth these words Corpus habuit flagellatum animum verè doluisse c. As his body was scourged so his soule was grieued and this griefe was exceeding great Euen a sword of sorrow did pierce through his soule as Simeon spake of the blessed virgin in the second of Saint Luke Therfore he is called Vir dolorum A man of sorrowes Verse 3. of this chapter which Hebrew phrase imports extreame sorrow like that vir sanguinum a bloody man 2. Sam. 16.8 and surely his sorrow was exceeding great as his mournefull speech doth manifest My soule is very sorrowfull Mark 14.34 euen to the death Therefore the ancient fathers haue applyed to him Ierusalems mournefull complaint in the first of the Lamentations of Ieremy Lam. 1.12 Was there euer sorrow like my sorrow Ierusalems sorrow might be such in her apprehension as could not be matched but our Sauiours was such in the truth of comparison as could not be paralleld The Euangelists doe expresse this anguish of our Sauiours soule by diuers pressing words Math. 26.38 as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be sorrowfull 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be grieuously troubled 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be sore amazed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 His sorrow was an immediate stroke vpon the soule according to the etymon of the word It is said in the tenth verse that God strooke him and so did the Iewes they strooke his body in malice towards him God strooke his soule in mercy towards vs. Iob complaines in his sixt chapter Iob 6.4 The terrors of the Lord doe set themselues in aray against me And so doth our Sauiour in the fourteenth of Marke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Mar. 14.34 My soule is inuironed with sorrow on euery side Such was the sorrow of our Sauiour it was an immediate passion of the soule As his soule did suffer by way of sympathy when his body was tormented so did his body when his soule was wounded For when he sweat droppes of blood no hand of externall violence came neere him it was the anguish of soule that cast him into that bloody sweat And this was necessary For as S. Augustin saith Totus homo perijt totus saluatore indiguit As Adam sinned both in body and soule so he needed a Sauiour both of body and soule which that Christ might be it was necessary that he should suffer both in bodie and soule And as the soule of Adam sinned by immediate action so the soule of Christ suffered by an immediate passion Yea as the soule was the first agent in the transgression so is it here the first patient in the affliction For the first act of this Tragedie was in the garden of Gethsemane and there did that anguish seaze vpon his soule before the speare or nailes or thornes did touch him And whence proceeded this sorrow and anguish but from the immediate hand of God that strooke him Otherwise it were strange that our Sauiour should be brought into this extreamitie Is it credible as S. Austin saith August in Psal 93. Vt Paulus servus exultet Christus Imperator tristis sit that Paul the seruant should triumph Christ the Lord should bee troubled in sustaining of torments were it not that both the hand of God and man was vpon him Now how farre this stroke of God and sorrow of our Sauiour proceeded it is beyond the apprehension of men yea the contemplation of Angels It grieues my soule to see how some doe extenuate others doe aggrauate it It shall be our modesty not to attempt the gaging of it our happinesse that we neuer feele it For whom Christ bare these burdens VVE are in the next place to consider for whom our Sauiour bare these infirmities and sorrowes and the affix 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ours doth appropriate them they were our infirmities our sorrowes they were ours by way of appropriation though his by way of imputation Peccat Aemylius Rutilius plectitur Wee sinned and hee was punished We as sheepe went astray Esay 53.6 7. hee as a sheepe was brought to the slaughter Doles domine non tua sed mea vulnera O blessed Lord saith S. Ambrose they were not thy wounds Ambr. de fide lib. 2. cap 3. 2 Cor. 5.23 but mine that caused thy anguish He knew no sin saith the Apostle neither was

Chrysostome cries out O admirabilem natiuitatem O admirable natiuitie At the time of his birth he had a stable in stead of a stately Palace a manger in stead of a cradle the company of beasts in stead of humane and Angelicall attendance So was he parvulus aetate paupertate Augustin little both in age and estate Luk. 2.21 In his infancy he was subiect to that painfull Sacrament of Circumcision and pursued from place to place by the hand of persecution Math. 2.13 His whole life was dedicated to paines and pouerty The open field was his house the ground his bed broyled fish his dyet his iournies were laborious his attendants men of meane qualitie Thus did he beare our infirmities in his Incarnation 2. Againe 2. In his compassion Cyprian de Lapsis in his tender compassion he carried our sorrowes For as S. Cyprian saith Maeroris pondera participat c. He that hath compassion on another partakes in the burden of his sorrow So did the Apostle when he said Who is weake 2. Cor. 11.23 and I am not weake who is offended and I burne not And thus did our Sauiour in commiserating both the corporall and spirituall infirmities of men Those that wanted food and were ready to faint he pittied those that were oppressed with sicknesse Marke 8.1 or possessed with euill spirits he condoled Math. 8. When he saw people as sheepe without a shepheard He had compassion on them Math. 9. He is that good Samaritan that had compassion on the wounded man Luke 10. powred wine and oyle into his wounds and bound them vp And therefore was he sent Luke 4.18 that he should heale the broken hearted If a man should see a Chirurgion making a plaister of his owne blood for the curing of his patient hee could not but wonder at it And is not our Sauiours compassion admirable Augustin Qui ex proprio pretioso sanguine Who of his owne pretious blood made a plaster to cure the wounds of our soules Sueton. in vita Vespas Suetonius writes of that good Emperour Vespasian Iustis etiam supplicijs illachrymauit ingemuit He was so compassionate a Prince that hee was wont to sigh and weepe euen for them that were condignly punished Diuers stories doe mention many famous in this kinde But what is all the compassion of men yea of Saints and Angels but gutta pusilla Chrysost a little drop of water to the maine Ocean of our Sauiours compassion He was troubled in the spirit for treacherous Iudas Iohn 13.21 Luke 19.4 Rom. 5.8 Luke 23.34 wept for carelesse Ierusalem shed his blood for his enemies prayed for his cruell persecutors Lastly 3 3 3 In his Passion as our Sauiour did beare our infirmities and carry our sorrowes in his compassion so especially in his Passion What step did he take what word did he speake what place came he to where he left not Vestigia dolorum like the print of the nailes in his hands and feete When in the garden of Gethsemane Math. 26.38 he desired the Disciples to watch with him he bare our infirmities Mark 14.34 and when he complained that his soule was heauy vnto the death hee carried our sorrowes When he prayed Math. 26 39.
