51. Yet did Christ suffer more in Soul than in Body, being at the present deprived of that kind of sense of Gods Love, and Joy therein, which was no part of his holiness or perfection, (but no other) and having o• 1his Soul the deep sense of Gods displeasure with Sinners and of his •••• of sin, though no sense of Gods hatred to himself. For it is conceivable how Christ being the Lover and surety or Sponsor for Sinners, and undertaking to suffer as a Sacrifice for their sins, and in their stead, might have on his own Soul the sorrowful sense of Gods hatred of sin and wrath against Sinners, though not properly terminated on himself; and so he bore the sorrow of our transgressions, and was so far forsaken of God for that time, and not further.

- 1If in any of these points men of less accurateness use not the same words, take not therefore the old way of proclaiming them Heretics, till you have tried how far they err indeed. Most of our lower Divines of all parties would be made Heretics for want of Skill in the denominations allowable or not allowable by the Communication of idioms, if the Schoolmens accurateness must be the test. e. g. If the question were whether the Humanity be part of Christ, or Christ be compounded of a Divine Nature and Humane, &c. would affirm it, that mean well. But saith Alliac. Camerar. 3. q. [Neque persona neque natura divina est composita; nec est compositus ex duabus nais, divina scilicet & humana; sive ex tribus rebus, Corpore scilicet, anima & divinitate: sed ex duabus, secundum humanitatem, scilicet corpore & anima essentialiter, & ex infinitis partibus quantitativis integraliter. non est concedendum quod humanitas sit Pars Christ. Nam ficut homo non est compositus ex albidine, & substantia, […] est Compositus ex humanitate & persona divina. How many have gone for Heretics for want of the Language of and the Schoolmen?
