br.writeln("<DT style=\"margin-left:0in;text-indent:.2in\">[Jesus said to] His disciples in earth, This, this is the Passover that &ldquo;I have so longed for,&rdquo; as it were embracing and even welcoming His death. And which is more, &ldquo;how am I pinched, or straitened,&rdquo; till I be at it! as if He were in pain, till He were in pain to deliver us. Which joy if ever He shewed, in this He did, that He went to His Passion with Psalms, and with such triumph and solemnity, as He never admitted all His life before. And that this His lowest estate, one would think it, He calleth His exaltation. And when any would think He was most imperfect, He esteemeth His highest perfection. &ldquo;Here is love.&rdquo; If not here, where? But here it is, and that in his highest elevation. That the joys of Heaven set on the one side, and this poor joy of saving us on the other, He quit them to choose this. That those pains and shames set before Him, and with them this joy, He chose them rather than forego this.");
