Sacramental meditations upon divers select places of scripture

Surely if the Rocks rent asunder at his passion, thy heart is harder than a Rock, if it thaw not at such a sight as this. Fix thine eyes a while here, and thine eye will affect thy heart.

Secondly: Is there any among us that make too light of sin, and are easily ¹overcome by every temptation to the commission of it. O come hither and behold the Lamb of God, and you cannot possibly have slight thoughts of sin after such a sight of Christ. See here the price of sin, behold what it cost the Lord Jesus Christ to expiate it. Did he come into the world as a Lamb, ⟨p. 97⟩bound with the bands of an irreversible decree to die for sin? Did he come from the Bosom of the Father to be our Ransomer, and that at the price of his own life? Did the hand of severe Justice shed the Heart-blood of this Immaculate Lamb to satisfy for the wrong thy sins have done to God? and yet canst thou look upon sin as a light matter? God forbid.
