(1.) This Justifies God: For no Doctrine,¹ no Dispensation of his did ever countenance Sin. Nay, nothing does show so plainly Gods hatred of Sin, as the Gospel does. If we take a walk in the Garden, where our Saviour sweat those drops of Blood;² or be within hearing of that lamentable Cry, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? If we ask, Why does the Son of God thus cry out, what makes him thus sweat? The Gospel informs us, that it was our Sin that pressed this Blood out of him, and forced this bitter Cry from him:³ And if this be done in the green tree, what shall be done to the dry?
