1. That so the Scriptures might be fulfilled, that foretold his sufferings, Luke 24. 26, 27. and therefore it is usual in the history of the Gospel, when the particular sufferings of Christ are mentioned, to say, it was that such and such a Scripture might be fulfilled. Let wicked men mark this point; God is so just of his word, that he will not spare his own Son, but executeth every Judgement and misery, which in his word he foretold he should suffer, nor he did not release him from the least circumstance of any part of his Passion, as the dividing of ⟨p. 311⟩his garments, and casting Lots for his vesture &c. and therefore how can it be possible, that they that are so hateful to God, should escape any of those woes and curses denounced in Scripture? Let Swearers, Drunkards, Adulterers, Liars, Hypocrites, and the like, be afraid of this.
