cruel_a painful_a and_o with_o all_o opprobrious_a execrable_a shameful_a suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o very_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a but_o especial_o consider_v the_o spiritual_a part_n of_o his_o suffering_n viz._n the_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n of_o god_n forsake_v and_o afflict_v he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o fierce_a anger_n i_o shall_v even_o be_v astonish_v and_o amaze_v

wont_a comfort_n how_o shall_v i_o but_o stand_v aghast_a at_o these_o so_o wonderful_a suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 4._o i_o must_v weigh_v and_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o occasion_v and_o cause_v all_o this_o viz._n sin_n yea_o my_o sin_n yea_o this_o and_o that_o sin_n particular_o this_o come_v near_a home_n and_o from_o this_o i_o must_v now_o gather_v in_o these_o several_a conclusion_n as_o 1._o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o christ_n by_o his_o suffering_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o infinite_a justice_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n 2._o it_o be_v intend_v and_o mean_v at_o least_o in_o a_o second_o place_n to_o give_v out_o to_o the_o world_n a_o most_o notable_a and_o eminent_a instance_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o horridness_n odiousness_n and_o execrableness_n of_o sin_n since_o no_o less_o than_o all_o this_o yea_o nothing_o else_o but_o this_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n to_o expiate_v it_o and_o atone_v for_o it_o 3._o it_o hold_v forth_o again_o as_o sin_n be_v horrid_a in_o its_o self_n so_o it_o can_v but_o be_v exceed_o grievous_a and_o offensive_a to_o christ_n oh_o it_o cost_v he_o dear_a it_o put_v he_o to_o all_o this_o pain_n and_o torture_n it_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o how_o then_o shall_v it_o but_o offend_v he_o above_o all_o above_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n 4._o if_o therefore_o there_o be_v in_o i_o any_o spark_n of_o love_n towards_o christ_n or_o any_o likeness_n to_o christ_n or_o if_o i_o will_v have_v christ_n to_o bear_v any_o affection_n love_n regard_n or_o respect_n unto_o i_o it_o will_v absolute_o behoove_v i_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o loath_a sin_n and_o cast_v it_o away_o from_o i_o to_o root_v it_o up_o to_o quit_v my_o hand_n and_o to_o rid_v my_o heart_n of_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o can_v possible_o give_v forth_o a_o more_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o my_o sincere_a love_n entire_a affection_n respect_n conformity_n resemblance_n sympathy_n to_o and_o with_o christ_n than_o by_o offer_v all_o violence_n usual_o all_o holy_a severity_n against_o sin_n for_o his_o very_a sake_n now_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v thus_o exercise_v god_n by_o his_o spirit_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o meet_v we_o our_o desire_n and_o endeavour_v of_o our_o soul_n to_o weaken_v and_o kill_v sin_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o without_o its_o reward_n but_o especial_o when_o sin_n have_v in_o this_o way_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n lose_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o be_v bring_v in_o hatred_n and_o disesteem_v it_o decay_v and_o die_v of_o itself_o for_o it_o only_o live_v and_o flourish_v by_o the_o warm_a affection_n good_a thought_n and_o opinion_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v of_o it_o so_o that_o
