of
God
to

What
fironger argument
can
bee
brought,
to
proue
that
we
lhall
neuer be
fubieet
to Gods wrath,
nor be
cafi
away
in

difpleafure
than
that
our
Sauiour
Bath
borne
his
fa-

anger, to the
end hee
might
reconcile

?
and
therfore
though
our Sauiour
fuffered thefe
outward and

atNi
&ions,
not
as
he was
the
dearelic beloued fonne
ofGod
who
was
free
from finne,but
as
he was our
Mediator,
who
had-
taken
vpon
him
our
finnes,
to
the end hee
might
fatiffie
his

yet
feeing hee
indured
thefe
things
in

we

Let

hence
thou cana not gather

:
nay
contrariwife
thou

which
God
in

on thee
for

for
this

God
