all smart, my heart shall bleed for thine. Sinner. O groundless deeps! O love beyond degree !Th offended dies to set th offender free. S. August. •LORD, if I have done that, for which thou mayest damnme; thou hast not lost that, whereby thou mayest save me:remember not, sweet Jesus, thy justice against the sinner, butthy benignity towards thy creature: remember not to proceedagainst a guilty soul, but remember thy mercy towards amiserable wretch: forget the insolence of the provoker, andbehold the misery of the invoker; for what is Jesus but aSaviour? ANSELM.Have respect to what thy Son hath done for me, andforget what my sins have done against thee: my flesh hathprovoked thee to vengeance; let the flesh of Christ movethee to mercy: It is much that my rebellions have deserved;but it is more that my Redeemer hath merited. Epig. 10.Mercy of mercies! He that was my drudgeIs now my advocate, is now my judge:He suffers, pleads, and sentences alone:Three I adore, and yet adore but One. ^y
