In all these ways, what ever Torment an Innocent Surety was capable of as the fruit of sin, all that Jesus Christ suffered, part now in the garden, and fully upon the Cross, Our Surety stood guilty in the Eye of Justice, of all the sin of the first Adam, and presents himself to suffer for the same, unto the satisfaction of the justice of the Law, Rom. 3.19. all the world is become guilty before God, and Jesus Christ taketh upon himself all this guilt, all the mountains of guilt of all the elect world are rolled upon Jesus Christ, he is made sin for us, and the fiery streams of the wrath of God that burneth in Tophet come running down upon him, Psal. 88.7. thy wrath lieth hard upon me, thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. The curse due unto sin maketh it a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, Heb. 10.31. for our God is a consuming fire. In this fearful, terrible condition was the Soul of Jesus Christ, now in his garden agony, which suffering of Jesus Christ doth save believers from it, to the enlargement of our Eternal Thanksgiving, praise and joy.
