Surely he that is not affected with the consideration of these things sheweth himselfe strangely fearefully obdurate But though these things wer terrible yet this was not al.

Thou euen thou art to be feared and who can stand in thy sight when thou art angrie Secondly Luke 22 44. because as is saide His sweat was like droppes of blood trickling downe to the ground We may imagine it was no small paine that forced this sweate from him For it was not some little dew that stood vppon his face nor some few small drops that fell from him but it was as one calleth it a showre or rather a streame of blood And therefore Isaiah 53 3. no maruell if the prophet call him A man full of sorrowes Thirdly because an Angell was sent from heauen to comfort him Luke 22 43.

Heb. 5 7. my God why hast thou forsaken me And that with strong crying teares as the Apostle saith All these laide together doe make it euident that it was more then an ordinarie torment which he endured For many of the Martyrs supported by the Spirit of God nay many malefactors by their natural fortitude haue endured far greater things in their bodies So that our Sauiour might truely say in this case as it is in the Lamentations of the Church Lamen 1 12 Behold and see all ye that passe by if there bee any sorrow like vnto my sorrow which is done vnto mee wherewith the Lord hath afflicted mee in the day of his fierce wrath The consideration of these things should intenerate our harts and worke them to remorse Shall he suffer all these things for our sinnes and shall not we whose sinnes they are bee moued and affected Shall his heart bleede for vs and shall not our harts bleed with sorrow for our owne sinnes Shall not wee cause our bed euery night to swim Psalme 6 6. and water our couch with teares of contrition Pliny writeth of the Adamant Lib. 37.
