the Sorrow of the Soule I am sure none And indeede the Paine of the Body is but the Body of Paine the very soule of Sorow and Paine is the soules Sorrow and Paine Giue me any griefe saue the griefe of the minde saith the Wiseman For saith Salomon the spirit of a man wilsustain all his other infirmities but a wounded spirit who can beare And of this this of his Soule I dare make a Case Si fuerit sicut He began to be troubled in Soule saith S. Iohn To be in an agonie saith S. Luke To be in anguish of minde and deepe distresse saith S. Marke To haue his Soule round about on euery side inuironed with Sorow and that Sorow to the death Here is trouble anguish agonie sorow and deadly sorow but it must be such as neuer the like So it was too The aestimate whereof we may take from the second word of Melting that is from his sweat in the Garden strange and the like whereof was neuer heard or seene No maner violence offred him in Body no man touching him or being neere him in a colde night for they were faine to haue a fire within doores lying abroad in the ayre and vpon the colde earth to be all of a sweat and that Sweat to be Blood and not as they call it Diaphoreticus a thinne faint Sweat but Grumosus of great Drops and those so many so plenteous as they went through his apparell and all and through all streamed to the ground that in great abundance Reade Enquire and Consider Si fuerit sudor sicut sudor iste If euer there were Sweat like this Sweat of his Neuer the like Sweat certainely and therefore neuer the like Sorrow Our translation is Done vnto me but we said the word properly signifieth and so S. Hierome the Chaldey Paraphrast read it Melted me And truly it should seeme by this fearefull Sweat of his hee was neere some fornace the feeling whereof was able to cast him into that Sweat and to turne his Sweat into drops of Blood And sure it was so For see euen in the very next wordes of all to this verse he complaineth of it Ignem misit in ossibus me is That a fire was sent into his bones which melted him and made that bloody Sweat to distill from him That houre what his feelings were it is dangerous to define wee know them not we may be too bold to determine of them To very good purpose it was that the ancient Fathers of the Greeke Church in their Liturgie after they haue recounted all the particular Paines as they are set downe in his Passion and by all and by euery one of them called for mercy doe after all shut vp all with his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 By thine vnknowen Sorowes and Sufferings felt by thee but not distinctly knowen by vs haue mercy vpon vs and saue vs. Now though this suffice not nothing neere yet let it suffice the time being short for his paines of Body and Soule for those of the Body it may be some may haue endured the like but the sorrowes of his Soule are vnknowen sorowes for them none euer haue euer haue or euer shall suffer the like the like or neere the like in any degree And now to the third It was said before To be in distresse such distresse as this was to find none to comfort nay not so much as to regard him is all that can be sayd to make his sorow a Non sicut Comfort is it by which in the midst of all our sorowes we are Confortati that is strengthened made the better able to beare them all out And who is there euen the poorest creature among vs but in some degree findeth some cōfort or some regard at some bodies hāds For if that be not left the state of that partie is here in the third word said to be like the tree whose leaues and whose sruit are all beaten off quite and it selfe left bare and naked both or the one and of the other And such was our Sauiours case in these his Sorowes this day and that so as what is left the meanest of the sons of men was not left him Not a leafe Not a leafe Leaues I may wel call all humane Comforts and Regards where of he was then left cleane desolate 1. His owne they among whom he had gone about all his life long healing them teaching them feeding them doing them all the good he could it is they that cry Not him no but Barabbas rather Away with him his blood bee vpon vs and our children It is they that in the middest of his sorowes shake their head at him and cry Ah thou wretch they that in his most disconsolate estate cry Eli Eli in most barbarous maner deride him and say Stay and you shal see Elias come presently and take him downe And this was their Regard But these were but withered leaues They then that on earth were neerest him of all the greenest leaues likest to hang on and to giue him some shade euen of them some bought and sold him others denied forswore him but all fel away forsooke him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith Theodoret not a leafe left But leaues are but leaues and so are all earthly stayes The fruit then the true fruit of the Vine indeed the true comfort in all heauinesse is Desuper from aboue is diuine consolation But Vindemiauit me saith the Latine text euen that was in this his Sorow this day bereft him too And that was his most sorowfull complaint of all others not that his friends vpon earth but that his Father from heauen had forsaken him that neither heauen nor earth yeelded him any regard but that betweene the passioned powers of his soule and whatsoeuer might any waies refresh him there was a Trauerse drawen he left in the estate of a weather-beaten tree all desolate and forlorne Euident too euident by that his most dreadful crie which at once moued all the powers in heauen and earth My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Weigh well that crie consider it well and tell me Sifuerit clamor sicut clamor iste If euer there were crie like to that of his Neuer the like crie and therefore neuer the like sorow It is strange very strange that of none of the Martyrs the like can be read who yet endured most exquisite paines in their Martyrdomes yet wee see with what courage with what chearefulnes how euen singing they are reported to haue passed through their torments Will ye know the reason S Augustine setteth it downe Martyres non eripuit sed nunquid deseruit He deliuered not his Martyrs but did he forsake them He deliuered not their bodies but he forsooke not their soules but distilled into thē the dew of his heauenly comfort an abundant supply for all they could endure
