Christs shedding of his blood in such a large manner as we read in the Scripture, is a truth worthy of all attention and acknowledgement, but understood in the sense of the Dialogue for the shedding of his material blood only, it is comparatively but a small part of his obedience: for Christ suffered not only a natural death, Job. 19.30. but also a spiritual death, Mat. 26.46. Heb. 2.9. not only a bodily but also a spiritual death, he shed his blood together with the sense of the wrath of God, here his death is not called a death simply, but a suffering, wherein the iniquities of us all gathered together as in an heap were laid upon him, Isa. 53.6. and a curse; but this is already largely spoken to.
