He was a Lamb, and a Lyon: a Lamb in his own Cause; and a Lyon in Gods Cause. Oh! that in these thigns you would labour to be like unto Him. It would be infinite: indeed it would be beyond me, if I should single out all his Graces that were eminent in Him. He was a Heaven of Grace, full of shining stars. Behold Him in His Doings: The only way for you to be like to Him in your Doing, is to behold Him in His Doing.

And when He was called unto it, He would not be put out of His way. If they cast water upon Him, it made Him flame the more;1 Get thee behind me Satan. In all His sufferings, He had an especial eye to other mens good: then He went very quietly; and meekly: As a Lamb dumb before the shearers, so He opened not His mouth. And He was more sensible (which I pray mark) of Gods withdrawing from Him in His sufferings, than of all the pains, disgrace, and misery that He did undergo. And therefore, when He was upon the Cross; says He, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
