Moreover! God is not at all delighted with, nor desirous of the blood, the tears, the cries, the unexpressible torments and sufferings of the son of his Love, (for he delights not in the anguish of any (he doth not i afflict willingly, nor grieve the Children of Men) much less the son of his bosom) only he required 1that his Law be fulfilled, his Justice satisfied, his wrath atoned for sin, and nothing less then all this, would bring it about. If the debt of sin might have been compounded for, at a cheaper rate, it had never been held up at the price of the blood of Christ. Here then Soul, take a view of the desert of sin;- behold it far more evident, then in all the threatenings and curses of the Law. I thought indeed, mayst thou say from thence, that sin, being found on such a poor worm as I am, was worthy of death, but that it should have this effect, if charged on the son of God, that I never once imagined.
