This death of Christ was true, not feigned: it was natural, or from causes naturally working to bring it, not supernatural; it was voluntary, not altogether compelled; yet it was violent, not of inward principles: It was also in a certain manner supernatural, and miraculous, because Christ did keep his life, and strength so long as he would, and when he would, he laid it down, John 10. 18.
