Know, Fourthly, That our Lord JESUS CHRIST, accomplishing of our Redemption, does also Revenge our Cause upon our Enemies. Our Lord most Emphatically does the part of a Redeemer for us, in Revenging the mischiefs, which have been done to our Souls, by our mischievous Adversaries. Have our Souls been murdered by Sin? O Sin, our Lord Jesus Christ will take a thorough Revenge upon thee. Sin that has been our Death, does it self undergo Death, by the Blood and Grace of our Lord Redeemer. We read this; Rom 6. 6. Knowing this, that the Old man is Crucified with Him, that the Body of Sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve Sin. And shall Satan escape? Satan, who hath deceived us, enslaved us, ⟨p. 154⟩ruined us! No. Satan, thou shalt not escape the Revenge of our Great Lord Redeemer. We read this: Heb 2. 14. He hath destroyed him that had the power of Death, that is the Devil; and delivered us. O […] Faithful, who graciously and generously Forgive all your other Enemies, why do we hear you crying with no more Fervency unto your Glorious Kinsman, Revenge. Revenge! O my Redeemer! Take a Revenge on the Enemies that have shed the Blood of my Soul!
