The harmony of the divine attributes in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption…

CHAP. IX.

The Greatness of Redeeming Love discovered by considering the Evils from which we are freed. The Servitude of Sin, the Tyranny of Satan, the Bondage of the Law, the Empire of Death. The measure of Love is proportionable to the degrees of our Misery. No possible Remedy for us in Nature. Our Deliverance is complete. The Divine Love is magnified in the Means by which our Redeemer is accomplished. They are the Incarnation and Sufferings of the Son of God. Love is manifested in the Incarnation, upon the account of the essential Condition of the Nature assumed, and its Servile state. Christ took our Nature after it had lost its Innocency. The most evident Proof of God's Love is in the Sufferings of Christ. The description of them with respect to his Soul and Body. The Sufferings of his Soul set forth from the Causes of his Grief; The Disposition of Christ, and the Design of God in afflicting Him. The sorrows of his forsaken state. All comforting Influences were suspended, but without prejudice to the Personal Union, or the perfection of his Grace, or the Love of his Father towards Him. The Death of the Cross considered, with respect to the Ignominy and Torment that concurred in it. The Love of the Father and of Christ amplified upon the account of his enduring it.
