Again he dyed a voluntary death: for else he had not dyed in obedience, his death was violent in regard of them that forced it, but it was voluntary in regard of them that he offered himself for, as a sweet Sacrifice to his Father, that voluntariness made his death a sweet sacrifice: for whatsoever the Father did to him, he joined with the Father in it, the Father gave him, he gave himself, the Father ⟨p. 11⟩appointed him to be so and so, and he joined with the Father in all things, No man takes away my life from me saith he himself. It was a voluntary death, in regard of his freedom, nay he thirsted after it, as you have it in the Gospel, he longed after it, upon higher considerations, howsoever in a lower consideration, as it was a tormenting thing, and a bitter cup, he had a desire that it might pass, but it was upon lower respects, upon hi her respects the will of his Father, and the Salvation of mankind, he thirsted to drink of that cup.

Againe he dyed a voluntary death: for else he had not dyed in obedience, his death was violent in regard of them that forced it, but it was voluntary in regard of them that he offered himselfe for, as a sweete Sacrifice to his Father, that voluntarinesse made his death a sweete sacrifice: for whatsoever the Father did to him, he joyned with the Father in it, the Father gave him, he gave himselfe, the Father ⟨p. 11⟩appointed him to bee so and so, and he joyned with the Father in all things, No man takes away my life from me saith hee himselfe.

A man may will, and nill the same thing upon presenting of different objects, and respects, and reasons, that which a man may decline as we say, in this respect, looking to a particular end, that a man may desire looking to a higher end; because man is framed so, to yield to the stronger reason alway. Thereupon that is no objection, he seemed sometime a little unwilling? It was, looking upon something presented to him, that made him in that respect unwilling: but looking upon other respects, he gave himself willingly, the Father and he joined together.
