As an Appendix unto this Article, I will offer to your View, the astonishing Distress into which our Blessed JESUS Himself was thrown, when GOD laid upon him the Iniquities of us all, and He underwent the Punishment, which was due for the Sins of His Elect. Sirs, Go to Gethsemane, and see the Blessed JESUS prostrate in the Dust, and Blood mingled with the Sweat which ⟨p. 31⟩dropped from Him; See Him very Heavy, very Sorrowful, sore Amazed, in most inexpressible perplexities crying out▪ Oh! My Father, let this Cup pass from me! Go to Golgotha, and see the Blessed JESUS hanging on the Tree, with His Bones out of Joint; See Him with His Heart melted like wax in the midst of His Bowels, and crying out, My God, my God, Why hast thou forsaken me? All this done, to the JESUS, who was Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, and Separate from Sinners, when He was a sufferer for Sinners! And now, O Sinful ones, How will you bear the Punishment of your own Sin? Ye sorry Briars and Thorns, How will you stand before that Consuming Fire? The Cup which made that mighty One, our Immanuel, to stagger, will certainly be too strong for the miserable Sinner.
