The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

Answ. It is so deep, terrible, Infinite, and intolerable, that it is unutterable, as it is said, 1 Cor. 2.9. Eye hath not seen, Ear hath not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for them that love him. So nor for them that love him not, who are sinners. And what unconceivable punishment divine justice hath prepared for sinners, all that, Jesus Christ hath suffered in our stead, no man can bear the curse of the Law but it will sink him to hell, and there he can bear it but by drops, and therefore his punishment is drawn out to Eternity. But Jesus Christ was able to bear it, and to accomplish his sufferings in a finite time, Isai. 53.4. he hath born our griefs. Souls in hell feel what a Soul Agony under ⟨p. 70⟩Gods wrath and curse is, Luk. 16.24. I am tormented in this flame, said Dives in Hell. Souls under the work of conversion, when they are wounded for sin, feel some drops and sparks of it, & yet that little is intolerable, Pro. 18.14. a wounded Spirit who can bear? a Negative Interrogative, meaning that none can bear it. Only Jesus Christ can bear it, yea, we may truly say, never did any wounded Soul in the work of conversion feel such Soul wounds as Jesus Christ felt, and never did, shall, or can any Soul in Hell feel such Torments of soul as Jesus Christ felt.
