Pater sipossibile est etc. Father if it be possible, a way with this cup, rid me of it. He understood by this cup, his pains of death. For he knew well enough that his passion was at hand, that Judas was come upon him with ⟨image 187⟩the Jews to take him. There was offered unto him now the Image of death, the Image, the sense the, the feeling of hell, for death and hell go both together. I will entreat of this Image of hell, which is death. Truly no man can show it perfectly yet, I will do the best I can to make you understand the grievous pangs that our Saviour Christ was in, when he was in the garden, as mans power is not able to bear it, so no mans tongue is able to express it. Painters paint death like a man without skin, & a body having nothing but bones, And hell they paint with, horrible flames burning fire, they bungle some what at it they come nothing near it But this is no true painting. ⟨image 188⟩No painter can paint hell unless he could paint the torment and condemnation both of body and soul, the possession & having of all in felicity. This is hell, this is the Image of death, this is hell, such an evil favoured face, such an ugsome countenance, such an horrible visage our saviour Christ saw of death and hell in the garden. There is no pleasure in beholding of it, but more pain than any tongue can tell. Death and hell toke unto them this evil favoured face of sin, and thorough sin. This sin is so highly hated of God, that he doth pronounce it worthy to be punished with lack of all felicity, with the feeling of infelicity. Death and hell be not only ⟨image 188⟩the wages, the reward, the stipend of sin, but they are brought into the world by sin, per peccatū mors saith S. Paul, through sin death entered into the world. Moses showeth the first coming in of it into the world: Where as our first father Adam was set at liberty to live for ever, yet God inhibiting him from eating of the Apple, told him, If thou meddle with this fruit, thou & all thy posterity shall fall into necessity of death from ever living, morte morieris. thou and all thy posterity shall be subject to death, here came in death and hell. Sin was their mother. Therefore they must have such an Image as their mother sin would give them.
