Mat. 26. 40. 41. the Lord suffering them to fall, to let them see their weakness, correct their carelessness, cure in them pride of heart, and contempt of others, and ordering their slips for the glory of his great name, the comfort of the weak, and the good of the party fallen, after that by repentance he is risen again.
