Med. 7. Another Meditation is this, Here I see presented to me what every soul that shall be saved cost; whoever shall have his soul saved he hath it saved by a ransom, by a price paid that is more worth than ten thousand thousand worlds; thou slightest thine own soul, but if it prove to be saved, it cost more than if thousands of worlds had been given for thee; even the shedding of the blood of Christ, every drop of which was more precious than ten thousand worlds.
Med. 7. Another Meditation is this, Here I see presented to me what every soul that shall be saved cost; whoever shall have his soul savd he hath it savd by a ransom, by a price paid that is more worth than ten thousand thousand worlds; thou slightest thine own soul, but if it prove to be saved, it cost more than if thousands of worlds had been given for thee; even the shedding of the blood of Christ, every drop of which was more precious than ten thousand worlds.
Meditation 7. Again, from hence see what is the evil of sin, how great it is that hath made such a breach between God and my soul, that only such a way, and such a means must take away my sin; I must either have lain under the burden of my sin eternally, or Jesus Christ that's God and man must suffer so much for it; Oh, what Meditations are these to take up the hearts of men!

Meditation 8. Behold the infinite love of God to mankind, and the love of Jesus Christ, that rather than God would see the children of men to perish eternally, he would send his Son to take our nature upon him, and thus to suffer such dreadful things; herein God shows his love; it is not the love of God so much in giving you a good voyage, and prospering you outwardly in the world; But, so God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son: And it pleased the father to break his Son, and to pour out his blood, here is the love of God and of Jesus Christ; Oh, what a powerful, mighty, drawing, efficacious Meditation should this be unto us!
