The saints delight. To which is annexed a treatise of meditation

Considerat. 6 6. How did Christ delight in the work of our redemption? Lo I come, I delight to do thy will, O my God, Ps. 40.7, 8. 'Tis by Expositors agreed that it is spoken mystically of Christ^*; when he came into the world to sacrifice his life for us, it was a free will-offering. I have a baptism to be baptised with, Luke 12.50. Christ was to be (as it were) baptized in his own blood, and how did he thirst for that time? How am I straitened ^*till it be accomplished? Did Christ so delight in the work of our redemption, and shall not we delight in his service? Did he suffer willingly, and do we pray unwillingly? ⟨p. 48⟩Did he so cheerfully lay down his life for us, and shall nor we give up our lives to him? Certainly if any thing could make Christ repent of shedding his blood, it would be this, to see Christians come off so hardly in duty, bringing it rather as a penance, then a sacrifice.
