1The consideration of this, that Christ suffered on the Cross, should teach us both Humiliation and humility: we should be pricked in our hearts, to ⟨p. 133⟩think of it that our sins caused him so to be piercedi: and we should put on all humbleness of mind, when we see him that was equal to God, abasing himself for us, in the form of a Servant, to dye on a treek: yea, the more baseness he suffered, the more we should glory and rejoice in his sufferings: nothing should glad our hearts more then CHRIST, and him crucified.l
