Let us often meditate deeply of Christ, and of our selves in him, let us see all our ill in him; and all our good in him: see death overcome, and sin overcome by his death, he being made a curse for us: see the Law overcome, he being made under the Law for us: when the wrath of God vexeth, and terrifieth us, see it upon him; He sweat water and blood in the Garden. It made him cry out, My God, my God, why •ast thou forsaken me? See all that may trouble us in him, as our Surety. And all the good we hope for, see it in Christ first: whatsoever he hath in his natural body, it is for his mystical body; for he gave his natural body for his mystical. God, in the world to humble us, exerciseth us with troubles and calamities, as he did Christ: we must be conformable to our he•d: but consider the poison, and sting of all ills we need to fea•e, is swallowed up▪ and taken away by Christ. And as I said, let us see all our good in him, we are sons in him▪ raised […] him, blessed in him, set in heavenly places with him, and shall be follow-heirs, and Kings with him; for we are his members; his Spouse, the wife shall enjoy the same condition as the husband, whatsoever he hath she shall have.

We cannot exercise our thoughts too much in these meditations.
