it was shewed that of the Tribe of Judah should Shiloh come but whether Male or Female nothing certain David was assured that a Son of his should sit upon his Throne for ever But till Isaias it was not known that he should be born of a pure Virgin that a woman should compass a man Isa. 7. 14. Behold a Virgin that famous Virgin the Originall sets it forth with an Accent spoken of Gen. 3. 15. shall conceive and bear a Son The very place of his Birth was not set forth till Micha did it Mich. 5. 2. Not the just time till Daniel foretold it Dan. 9. 24. Thus by degrees and piece-meal as it were God spake of old to the Fathers by his servants the Prophets Heb. 1. 1. Every age almost brought sorth some new thing touching the Babe of Bethlehem lapt up in the swathbands of the Holy Scriptures either in express and evident terms and testimonies or else in mirrors and miracles Lastly John Baptist Fibula Legis Gratiae as one calls him the Buckler of the Law and Gospel pointed him out with his finger Behold the Lamb of God c. Now this Jesus Christ is the most excellent Person in the world the fairest amongst men worth ten thousand of us as the People said of David 2 Sam. 18. 3. Look upon him as he is described Heb. 1. 1 2 3. For his Nobility He is Gods own Son For his Riches He is heir of all things For his Wisdom He made the Worlds For his Eminency He is the brightness of his Fathers Glory and the express Image of his Person For his might He upholdeth all things by the Word of his Power For his Merits He hath by himself purged our sins For his Preferment He sate down at the right hand of the Majesty on High Traps Treas The quallity and kind of Christs Death is remarkeable for three Characters which were engraven on the Death of the Cross which he died 1. For the painfulness of it The nature of that Death was painfull For Death it self is painfull no man payes that debt with ease When Asa dies he cryes Ah my feet When David dyes he complains O my cold Body When the Shunamites Child dyes he cryes Ah my pained head When ●zzah dyes he cryes Oh my Leprous skin Life is a precious Pearl But there are three things besides which made Christs Death painfull 1. Violence It 's painfull to die of any violent disease but when five deaths do all concur and strive which of them shall dispatch the poor man soonest this must needs be more painfull Such was Christs Death which made him complain Psal. 22. 16. They pierced my hands and my feet and Joh. 19. 34. One of the Souldiers with a Spear pierced his side and forthwith there came out blood and water Here are five Deaths that invaded a living man Death on each hand and on each legg and death on his side though this last came a little too late Now a violent Death it must needs be when strong and great nails did pierce the most nervous parts of his Body his hands and his feet 2. Slowness Four leasurely violent Deaths seized on him Blood is the life of the living Creature then look how long his blood was coming out his Life was dropping out as long It 's a great aggravation for a man to be long a dying and yet cannot die To have his torment quick and yet his Death slow is an Image of Hell where men seek Death and yet cannot finde it Christs slow Death was divided into four quarters Death at each hand and at each foot made his pain the greater The weight of his Body did hang upon those four tormenting nails his pierced Hands and Feet as if Death had delighted to hold Christ long at sea and to deny him it's last sad service Christ had been before dying a terrible Death in the Garden when he was boiled as it were in a bloody sweat and two circumstances shew that the two Thieves Death was nothing in slowness of torment comparable to Christs death 1. The sad and direful preparatories to Christs Death as he was the night before in a Soul-death when those 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as it were Drops or great hail stones of blood frozen or hardened together as Stephanus thinks through extream terrour when he was scourged and Crowned with Thorns 2. He was so weakned in Body thereby that he was not able to bear his own Cross which made him complain Psal. 22. 17. I may tell all my Bones My strength is dried up like a Potsheard So that Christ began to die the night before and continued dying twenty four hours the Lords anger and curse being on him and then bodily pain with the curse of the Law all this time wrought upon him And Christ in bearing the pains of the second Death did suffer that which all the Elect should have sustained in their Souls for ever Isa. 53. 6. The Lord laid upon him the iniquity of us all and though Christ died but one Death for all the Elect yet in the extremity of the pain it was many Deaths to him 3. Many degrees of Life were taken from him Consider how much of Life Christ had and the removing of it by violence must be so much the more painfull Now life natural had in Christ a sweet and a peaceable dwelling the possession of life was with excellent delights It was planted besides the Glorious God-head personally and so had sweet company and that made it pleasant It had not been so much to take away the Life of a common man whose life is not priviledged with Grace and the Grace of a Personal union with God The second Character that was engraven on Christs Death was that it was shameful and reproachful Now Shame is first Fundamentally in the cause Sin and Sin acted by men against that Law of God is the onely foundation of Shame Exod. 32. 25. Aaron made the People naked to their Shame So 2 Sam. 13. 13. Shame and sin are neer a kin And thus Christ was no more capable of Shame than he was of sin He came out of the Womb clothed with the white Robe of Innocency and he never contracted one black spot on that fair Robe of the highest Image of God from the womb to the Grave and therefore there was no shame fundamentally in Christ. 2. There is Shame formally in sin and that first In being ashamed Actively Secondly In bearing of Shame Passively In the former consideration because sin is a shameful thing in itself Jer. 11. 13. There is an Internal blushing and Shame rising from sin the Conscience of the sinner if it be not cauterized thinking ill of sin and esteeming it self base in doing it Rom. 6. 21. What fruit had you in those things whereof you are now ashamed So Christ thought ill of sin and esteemed the Creature base in sinning 2. Christ our Lord
