Lect. 119.
- Foure points to be observed in the passion of Christ, that doe notably set forth, how odious and heavy a thing, sinne is. 1 No creature in heaven or earth, could have procured us the pardon of the least sinne: Christ onely was able to doe this, page 601.
- 2 Christ himselfe, could not have done it, for us, by any other meanes, then by dying for us, p. 602.
- 3 Christ himselfe by dying for us, could not have done it, if he had not dyed the cur∣sed death of the Crosse, p. 603.
- 4 Christ himselfe by dying for us, that cur∣sed death, could not have done it, if hee had not beene God, as well as man, p. 604.
- This should perswade us, to se••ke to re∣ctifie our judgement in this point, for 1 till then we can never be affected with our sins, as we ought, nor performe those five things that are necessary to true repentance, p 605. 2 till then Christ can profit us nothing, Ibid.
- Five meanes there are to rectifie our judge∣ment in this point; and to cause us to esteeme of sinne, as it ought to be esteemed of, Ibid. 606.
