As first,1 Is it the greatness of thy sin in the substance of the fact committed? hath there been lewdness in thy wickedness? (as the Prophet speaks) Consider what guilt of how heinous crimes God suffered to be laid to Christs charge by profane men, when he was made an offering for sin. He dyed as a Traitor to his Prince, and a blasphemer of God in the highest kind of blasphemy, as making himself equal with God; an Impostor, a Seducer, yea a Devil, yea a Prince of Devils, then whom a murderer was esteemed more worthy to live. Which imputations, though by men unjustly charged on him, yet by God were so ordered as just, in respect of his bearing our sins. For him who was holiness it self, to be made the greatest of sinners, yea to be made sin, and the worst of sins, and accordingly to suffer from God & men; what greater satisfaction for the taking of sins away can be desired or imagined?
