in receiving the Sacrament ofthe Lords Supper. 247 (paring hisSon, but in breaking his Son for my fin, and in flied- 4 ding the Blood of his Son for my fins, I fee here that the making of my peace with God did colt more than ten thoufand worlds is worth ; I fee that by my fin fuch a breach was made between God and my foul, that all the Angels in Heaven, and Men in theWorld could never make up this breach; only the Son of God, he that was God and man, that was thus broken by the burden of the wrath of his Father for my fins, could do this.
