Math Cap. xxvi. 36 Then went Jesus with them into a place called Gethsemane, and said unto his Disciples, Sit ye here, while I go, and pray yonder. 37 And he took Peter, and the two Sons of Zebedeus, and began to wax sorrowful, and grievously troubled. 38 Then said Jesus unto them, my Soul is very heavy, even unto the death, tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 So he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O, my Father, if it be possible, Let this cup pass from me: Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

When any thing is spoken, which concerneth our salvation, The scripture setteth before us three ends. The one is, That we might know the inestimable love, which GOD beareth us, to the end we might glorify him therefore, as he is worthy. The second, That we should abhor our sins, as we ought, and to be truly ashamed to humble our selves before the Majesty of our GOD. The third, that we might in such sort esteem of our salvation, as that it might make us forsake the world, and whatsoever thing else belongeth unto this transitory life, and to be in love with this inheritance, which was so dearly purchased for us.
