The Doctrine of Repentance

4. Our sins have put Christ to shame^*, and shall not we be ashamed? The Jews² arrayed him in Purple, they put a Reed in his hand, spat in his face, and in his greatest Agonies reviled him: Here was the shame of the Cross, and that which aggravated the shame, was to consider the eminency of his person, as he was the Son of God, and the innocency of his life, as he was the Lamb of God. Did our sins put Christ to shame, and shall they not put us to shame? Did he wear the Purple, and shall not our cheeks wear Crimson? Who can behold the Sun as it were blushing at Christs passion, and hiding it self in an eclipse, and his face not blush?³
