124- The Evil ofEvils, Or the the Father with his Saes : when yerus Ch.rji that was the f ècond Petfón ofthe Trinity, God blefdfor ever, came to beour Mediator, and tohavebut ourfins im- puted untohim ; andaccording to Scripturegrafe, to be madefen : Do but then take notice how God deals with him, howGodmanifefts himfelf to his own Son, when his own Son didbut take mans fin upon him, to anfwer for it : do but then confider how God the Father did deal withhim. TheScripture faith,he didnot fpare his Son, but let out thevials ofhis wrath upon him in a moft dreadful manner.
