That ifaiabVnl it behoved him thus to fuffcr^ and to rife again Lukexxw. The third Day, and fo to enter into his Glory, And if this was the way neceffary for Chrift himfelf to afcend to theThrone ofGod by, we muft not prefume to hope for a fmooth and eafyPalTage thither. His v/hole Life was ...little elfe but one continued Crofs, a Chain of Sufferings drawn out to the length of fo many Years.
