So that here, dearly beloved, we as in a glass may see, to the bruising of our blockish hard hearts, Gods great judgement and anger against sin. The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the brightness of Gods glory, the Son of God, the darling of his Father, in whom he is well pleased, hangeth between two Thieves, crying for thee and me, and for us all; My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me.
