—Cernis ut in toto corpore sculptus amor—
And can we look upon a suffering Saviour with dry eyes? Shall we not be sorry for those sins which made Christ a man of sorrow? Shall not our enormities draw ⟨p. 110⟩tears from us, which drew blood fro• ▪ Christ? Shall we sport any more with sin▪ and so rake in Christs wounds? Oh tha• by Repentance we could crucify our sins afresh! The Jews said to Pilate, Joh. 19. 12. If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesars friend. If we let▪ our sins go, and do not crucify them, we are not Christs friends.
