1. He suffered much pain, though many men have endured more, yet it was a great deal that the Son of God endured: especially when he was cruelly scourged, and after that crucified; that manner of death was exquisitely painful, Psal. 22 16. they pierced my hands and my feet: the nailing of his body ⟨p. 74⟩to the cross, and the weight of his body being born by those wounded parts for so many hours, could not be without exquisite pain: he expresses it by his bones being out of joint, Psal. 22.14▪ it must needs be a terrible torture, because persons that were crucified, was not wont to be very long in that condition before they dyed. The suddenness of their death could not be from the mere effusion of blood, but the exquisiteness of their pain contributed much to it.
