11. That which may cause tears to distil1 from our eyes, is to consider how dear our sins cost Christ. Christ is called the Rock, 1 Cor. 10. 3. When his hands were pierced with nails, and the spear was thrust in his side, then was this Rock smitten, and there came out water and blood: And all this Christ endured for us*, Dan. 9. 26.
