The Fountain of Life Opened

Thirdly, As the wrath, the pure unmixed wrath of God lay upon his soul, so all the wrath of God was poured out upon him; even to the last drop. So that there is not one drop reserved, for the Elect to feel. Christs cup was deep and large, it contained all the fury and wrath of an infinite God in it. And yet he drank it up. He bare it all; so that to believing souls, who come to make peace with God through Christ; he saith▪ Isa. 27.4. Fury is not in me. In all the chastisements God inflicts upon his people, there is no vindictive wrath. Christ bare it all in his own soul, and body on the Tree.

Fourthly, As it was all the wrath of God that lay upon Christ, so it was wrath aggravated in divers respects, beyond that which the damned themselves do suffer. That's strange you will say, can there be any sufferings worse than those the damned suffer, upon whom the wrath of an infinite God is immediately transacted! Who holds them up with the arm of his power, while the arm of his justice lies on eternally. Can any sorrows be greater than these? Yes, Christs sufferings were beyond theirs in divers particulars.
