Yet be it that his Father now forsakes him, will he forsake himself? O yes! he burns in the fiery furnace of affliction, without all manner of refreshing; and this was it that was figured in the Law, by those two Goats offered for the sins of the people; whereof the one was the Scape-Goat, and the other was the Offering: the scape-goat departed away, and was sent into the wilderness, but her companion was left alone in the torments, and made a Sin-Offering for the people: even so was this Sacrifice of God-man, man-God, blessed for ever, the humanity was offered, but the divinity escaped; the humanity suffered for the sins of the world, but the divinity departed away in the midst of sufferings, and left her sister and companion all alone in the torments: thus he purged himself, himself only in his humanity, no other with him, all other left him; the Gentiles, Jews, Disciples, Apostles, Mary his mother, and God his Father, nay he himself is bereaved of himself, 1the humanity of his divinity, if not in respect of the union, yet as touching the consolation, When he had by himself] (in his humane nature, without any comforter) purged our sins.
