fweeten
it,
fuch an
horrid
thing
as
the
death
of
the
Son
of
God
had need have
forne
great thing
to
fweeten it
;
what
now fweet-
ned this
to
God
the
Father
,
that
his own
Son
fhould
be
put
to
death
?
Why
?
nothing
but
this,
that hereby
finners
might
come
to
be
redeemed,jufttfied
and
pardoned, nothing
elfe
would
fweeten
it
to
God
the
Father,but

It
pleafed
the
Lordto
bruife him.,
and
again,
the
pleafure
of
the
Lard
fhall
pro
f
per in his
hand
;
the
Scripture
fays,
God
takes
no
delight
in
the death
of
a
firmer
;
and
yet
God
did take
delight
in
the death
of
his
Son, it pleated
God
to
fee
his Son
bruifed
:
when
God the
Father
faw his
Son
under
his
wrath,
fweating
drops
of
water
and
blood under the
curfe
of
the
Law,
it pleafed
God
well
;
certainly then
there
muff
be
forne
mighty thing that
muff
fweeten
this,
and
make the
death
of
his
own
Son a
delightful
objet
t
to
him
;
Why
?
the very
thing that
did
it
was
this, that
Chrift
being made
a
curfe,
he
thereby
did redeem
us
from
the
curfe,
procur'd
the
pardon
of
our
fins,
and
reconciled
us
unto-'
God
and
this
very
thing
fweetned the death
of
the
Son
of
God
unto
God
the
Father, therefore
the
heart
of
God
was
much
in
it.

For
Chrift,
What
was
the
bufinefs
that brought
hi
-m
from
the Fathers bofome, made him content to take
our
nature upon
him,
to
fuffer, and
to
be
a
man
of
furrows,
fo
as
to delight
in
it
?
there
was
a
kind
of delight
to
Chrift
in
induring
the
wrath
of
God
for
with
defirc(fays
Chrift)have
I
defred
to
eat this
Pafs-
over,
becaufe it was
the
Preparation
to
his
Death
and Sufferings
of
the
wrath
of
God,
in all
the fruits
and
effe
&s
of
it
for the
fin
of
Man
and when
Chrift
came
to
inftitute the Sacrament
of
the Lords Slipper, and
to
give his blood
for
the remiflìon
of
fins, the
Text
fays,
He gave
thanks
;
What
did
he give
thanks
for
?
furely the thing for which
he gave
thanks
,
(
upon which
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
is
called
the Eucharift, from
the Greek,
word that
lignifies
Th
,nksgiving)was
this, that
by his death
Re-
mißìon offins fhottld be
obtain'd:
when
Chrift
was
to
die
&
fuf-
fer all
the
wrath of God that
was
due for
our
fins,
Chrift
blefhed
God
&
thanked
God
the Father for
it: furely there
mutt
be
force
great
matter
to
fweeten
it ;
that-
he fhould
be fo
affefted
as
to
biefs
God
the Father
for that
that colt
him
his life, and
yet
he
did:
Mark what
it
is
that
fatisfies
Chrift
for
all
this,
