“What were all His humiliations, what His sufferings, His buffetings, His scourging, His cruel mocking, His submitting to be betrayed by one disciple, and denied by another? What His faintness, His weariness, His agony, His sense of spiritual desertion, His dying a malefactor’s death? What were all these but so many infallible proofs that He thirsted for the pardon of the human race; that He desired the sweetness of God’s favour should be tasted by man?” (Page 71)
“manifested in obedience, and accompanied with prayer and importunity to God, in order to obtain it” (Page 67)
