come,
I
delight
to
do thy
will,
And what
was
it
?
It
was
the
fuffering of
all
thefe things
that I
leave
named unto
you,
and
I
have
but
even named
them
unto
you.
Eighthly,
And
yet further,
the
wonder
of
Chrifls
humi-
liation (my
Icope
is
now
to
prefent
as
briefly
as
may
bee,as
much
of
Chrift
as
I
can
unto
you
, that
you
may
have fome
help
for
your
more
clear
apprehenfions
of
Chrift
, and
how
tomake
him
the
obey
of
your
faith)
The wonder
of
Chrift
appears in
this
, that
there
fhould bee
fuch
a way
to
fave
men
as
this
is,
that the
Son
of God
fhould
bee thus
humbled, and this wee finde
clearly in
Scripture
fet out to
us;
but
that God
would have
fuch a way
to
fave finners, and
no
other,
this
is as
great
a
wonder
as
anything, it
is
cer-
tainly
the aflonifhment
of
the
Angels, and
the
admiration
of
the
Saints
to
all eternity; that the
Lord fhould
look
up-
on
bafe
man,
and
that
hee fhould
have
thoughts to
fave
him,
that
was
nothing
;
but
when
God
faw
that
if
hee bee
faved, hee mull
bee faved
after
this
way, that
God fhould
as
it
were
trouble
heaven and
earth
for
the
faving
of a
poor
wretched finful
creature,
and
though
God
faw
that
it
would coil
him
fo
dear to fave
a foul
,
yet
that
hee
fhould
go on with
his
work
to
fave
him,
here
is
the
wonder
;
but
this
is
the
way
of falvation,
and
this is
that that
is infinitely
above reafon
,
not onely
above
fenfe
,
but
above reafon;
which
of
the
Heathens could have imagined
that there
should
have
been
fuch
a way
to
fave
man
by
as
this
;
Why
how wilt thou
bee faxed
?
I
will cry
to
God
for
mercy,
and
break
off
my
fin
, and bee forry with
all my heart
,
why
if
this
were
the
way there was
no wonder in
that
;
but know
oh thou
(inner,
whofoever
thou art that
if
ever thou bee
faved,
that
thou mutt
bee faved by
a
wonderful way
;
and
the
truth
is.,
con(
Bering
that
this
is
the
way
of
faving
fin-
ners wee may
nand
and wonder
that
any
are faxed;
when
you
hear of
but
few
that
go
to
heaven
s.,
and
