When the soul shall look upon Christ, and say. It was I, that have been the murderer; I, that have been the Traitor: my sins which brought all this evil on thee. I sinned, and thou sufferedst. It was I, that did eat the sour Grape; and thy teeth were set on edge. My sins were thy death: yet by thy death, thou broughtest the sinner life. I have wounded thee, yet thou hast healed me: even out of that wound which my sins have made, hast thou sent out a Plaster, even thy Blood for my sins. Oh! This must needs fill the heart with sorrow.

Faith still looks upon an Humbled Christ, with an Humbled Heart: upon a Broken Christ, with a Broken Heart: upon a Bleeding Christ, with a Bleeding Heart: upon a Wounded Christ, with a Wounded Heart: Hence, Zach. 12.10. — They shall look upon him whom they have pierced. And how shall that sight affect them? It follows.— They shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only Son, and lament for him, as one lamenteth for his first born. In that day there shall be a great mourning, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon, in the Valley of Megiddon.
