1 The Dignity of the Sufferer: He that had the Heavens for his Throne, was laid in a Manger; The Ancient of days became a Babe: He that was above all, was abased more than all; He that was richer than any, b•ing Lord of all; was made so exceeding poor, that he had not where to lay his head: He that was the wisest in the World, that never man spake like him; was derided and laughed to scorn, and was reproached in all his Office: The King of Kings, the great and only Potentate is crowned with Thorns; the Prophet of Prophets hath his face covered, and then smitten, and then they reproached him, saying, Prophesy who it was that smote thee. To the great High Priest it was said in scorn, He saved others, himself he cannot save. The ⟨p. 96⟩most Mighty is bound; the most Inno•e•• is scourged and condemned; the most Love•• is despised; the Physician is wounded, th•• the sick Patient may be healed: The Lo•• dyeth for his Servants. Oh think of this▪ ti• thou feel thy heart to work in love, and […] reach forth in burning desires after him.
