Were
the
Arse!,
fo

Chrift
(+ands

With
filthy
Garments
,
bee
that
is
cloathed
with MMefly
and
Glory,
yet
thee
mull
come
and
Rand
cloathed with filthy
Garments
before
the
Father. For
one
to
bee cloathed with filthy
garments,
and
yet
to bee
in
forne
room
alone,
that
no
body
ihould
fee him,is
no
great
matter,
but to fee
a
great Prince
to
come
out before the
world
cloathed with
filthy gar-
ments,
iris
a
very
great humiliation
:
But Chrift
that
was
infinitely
above all
the
Princes in
the
world,
bee
comes
and
ftands
before
Men
and
Angels,
yea
before
God
him-
felf
cloathed with
thefe
.filthy
garments. For
a
manto
have in
upon
him
before
other
men
it
is no
great
matter,but
for
him
to
come
into
the
prefence
of God with
rfin
upon
him,it
is
a
terriblething.
But
nowthe
Son
of
God

do
it,
bee
comes
into the prefence
of
the Father
,
and fiands
with all the
fins
of the
'Fleet
upon him ,
what
an
object}
is
here, of
Wonder?
Luther
calls Chrift the.greatefi finner
that
ever was
in the
world
, I
confefs
that
is
(omewhathard,
for
it
was
but charged upon
him,
but
his
meaning
is
onely
this
that
I
am
fpeaking
of
:
Chrift
had
not
onely
the
fins
of
David
,
his
Murther and Adultery
, and
denial
of
Peter
,
and
the
like
,
but
all the
fins
of
a'
1
the ele&
ones
,
from
the
b ginning
of the world,
to
the
end
of
the world,
which
they
were,
or
fhould bee guilty
of,
charged upon
him.
Secondly,
The wonder of'Ghrifts Humiliation
it
is
in
this ,
that
bee
that

'bee
now brought
down

for

not
this a
wonder,
that hee that
thunders
in
the

ihould
bee cry

Is
it
not
a
great
wonder,
that
bee
that
framed
the
heavens and
earth ,fhould
work with
a
Carpen-
ter
in
his
Trade
;
that
hee.
that

the great
Judge of
all
the
world fhould
bee
accufed,
and
.Mould
bee condemned
as
