As Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind; for he that suffereth in the flesh has ceased from sin. 1 Peter 4:1.

By outward affliction the Lord very often mortifies our inward corruptions of the heart, and facilitates our victory. But nothing will bring us sooner to loathing of sin and destroying its power, than a true consideration of Christ’s suffering and dying for us. His death on the cross produces true repentance, by which the heart is broken and yet comforted. Without a broken heart, all the boasting of Christ’s cross, blood, and wounds, are nothing but a vain babbling, and the play work of our fancies.

Father, I bless thy gentle hand!
How kind was thy chastising rod!
That forced my conscience to a stand,
And brought my wandering soul to God!

Foolish and vain I went astray
Ere I had felt thy scourges, Lord,
I left my guide and lost my way.
But now I love and keep thy word.

’Tis good for me to wear the yoke,
For sin is apt to rise and swell;
’Tis good to bear my Father’s stroke.
That I might learn his statutes well.

Thy hands have made my mortal frame,
Thy Spirit formed my soul within:
Teach me to know thy wondrous name,
And guard me safe from death and sin.
