So I and thou, and every one here had committed Treasons against the King of Kings, and stood condemned for it, not to suffer, and then be free, like them which break the laws of Men: but to suffer and suffer, and ever to suffer all that the Devils would heap upon us.
Then came the mercy of God for Christ, which shed his 1Blood, like an Umpire between God and us, and said as Isaiah said to Hezechia, *Thou shalt not die, but live, loose him and let him go, for he is mine. So we were stayed like the Widows Son, when he was carried to his grave. This is the benefit of Christs death, and this Sacrament is the remembrance of it, and therefore whensoever we receive it, this addition cometh with it, Which is shed for the remission of sins: Our fault was so heinous and grievous, that no Ransom could countervail it, unless God himself had suffered for us.
