Nor was this but the least of what he did; But the outside of what he suffered. God made his Blessed Son under the Law; Under the Curse, which, like the Lyon's Paw, ⟨p. 59⟩Did rent and tear his Soul, for mankind's Sin, More than if we for it in Hell had bin. His Cries, his Tears, and Bloody Agony, The nature of his Death, doth testify.
