Those sinewy parts, the hands and feet cannot be pierced through without inexpressible pain. In this misery did the Son of God hang on the Cross for six hours one after another, that so we for our sins might not be hung up in Everlasting Chains of misery as we deserved. But Christ's Bodily Sufferings, were nothing t• the sufferings of his Soul. He poured out his Soul unto death; His Soul was made an offering for sin. He felt the pangs of the Second Death […] pain whereof is unconceivable. […] ⟨p. 23⟩therefore in an Agony in the Garden, and sweat great drops of blood, and prayed with strong cries and tears, that if it were possible that Cup might pass from him. Can we think that the Son of God would have been in such an Agony, if he had been to suffer nothing but a bodily death? Would the thoughts of that have put him into a bloody Sweat! Shall we imagine that he had less courage in him then some of the Martyrs! But if Christ endured all this for our sins, shall we make a light matter of Sins. The consideration of what Christ suffered for our Sins, should make us afraid of the least Sin, and not to make a light matter of any Sin: No not of idle words. No man ever spoke an idle word in his life, but either Christ dyed to obtain the pardon of it; or, he that has been guilty of it, must die for ever for it. Nor was there ever a sinful, no nor so much as a vain thought in the heart, but if Christ the Son of God had not dyed to obtain the forgiveness of that thought of thy heart, thou must have lain under the Curse […] Wrath of God for it throughout […]. Say now, is Sin to be mocked
