Answ. 1 Then consider, what a great charge, God the Father hath given to Christ of those that are weak. Isa. 42.1. Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine Elect in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him &c. but why? vers. 3. A bruised Reed shall he not break, and the smoking Flax, shall not he quench. This is my Charge, saith the Father, which I give to my Son: And upon this account he came into the world, That those who have life, might have it in abundance; and for this cause he did die for us. Rom. 5.6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time, or according to the time, that is, the time appointed by the Father; Christ died for the ungodly.
