Having considered in order the preparative acts for the death of Christ,1 both on his own part, and on his enemies part: we now come to consider the death of Christ it self, which was the principal part of his humiliation, and the chief pillar of our consolation. Here we shall in order consider, First, The kind and nature of the death he died. Secondly, The manner in which he bare it, viz. patiently, solitary, and instructively; dropping divers holy and instructive lessons upon all that were about him, in his seven last words upon the Cross. ⟨p. 342⟩Thirdly, The funeral solemnities at his burial. Fourthly, and Lastly, The weighty ends, and great designs of his death. In all which particulars, as we proceed to discuss and open them; you will have an account of the deep abasement, and humiliation of the Son of God.
