1 fly unto thee, thou righteous Judge, through tbfe Anguish of my Redeemer Jesus Christ , when He did sweat the bloody Sweat on the Mount of Olives for my Sake, and was scourged by Pontius Pilate for me, and suffered a Crown of Thorns to be pressed upon His Head, so that His Blood came forth.
O righteous God, hast thou not set Him in my Stead ? He was innocent, but I guilty, for whom He suffered, wherefore should I despair under thy Wrath ? O blot out thy Anger in me through His Anguish, Passion and Death; I give myself wholly into His Anguish, Passion and Death ; I will stand still in His Anguish and Passion before thee, do with me what thou pleasest, only let me not depart from His Anguish. Thou hast freely given me His Anguish, and drowned thy Wrath in Him: And though I have not accepted it, but am departed from Him and become faithless, yet thou hast given me this precious Pledge in my Flesh and Blood. For He hath taken my Flesh and Soul upon His Heavenly Flesh and Blood , and hast satisfied the Anger in my Flesh and Soul in Him, with His heavenly Blood. Therefore receive me now in His Satisfaction , and put His A nghish. Passion and Death in thy Wrath, which is kindled in me, and break thy Judgment in me in the Blood of His Love.
O great Love ! in the Blood and Death of Jesus Christ , I beseech thee break the strong Fort of Prey which the Devil hath made and built up in me, where he resisteth me in the Way of thy Qrace. Drive him out of me, that he mav not overcome me for no one living can stand in thy Sight, if thou withdraw tby.. Hand from him. ,
O come thou Breaker-through the A nger of GOD, destroy its Power, and help my poor Soul to fight and overcome it. 0 bring me into Victory, and uphold me in thee ; break in Pieces its Seat in my Vanity, that is kindled in my Soul and Flesh.
Of True ‘Repentance .
O mortify the Desire of my Vanity in Flesh and Blood, which the Devil hath now kindled by his false Desire , by hellish Anguish and Desperation. O quench it with thy Water of eternal Life , and bring my Anguish forth though thy Death. I wholly sink myself down into thee; and though Soul and Body should this Hour faint and perish in thy Wrath, yet I will not let thee go. Though my Heart saith utterly, No , No, yet the Desire of my Soul shall hold fast on thy Truth, which neither Death nor the Devil shall take away from me. For the ‘ Blood of Jesus Christ ‘ the Son of God cleanseth us from all our Sins.’ This I lay hold on, and let the Anger of God do what it will with my Sin, and let the Devil roar over my Soul in his Fort of Prey which he hath mifde, as much as he will : Neither the Devil, Death nor Hell, shall pull me out of my Saviour s Wounds . Thou must at lengfh be confounded in me, thou malicious Devil, and thy Fort of Prey must be forsaken, for I will drown it in the Love of Jesus Christ , gmd then dwell in it if thou canst. Amen.
