that I may enact this, my resolution,

“Oh, where has your love to mankind carried you?
Had you sent creatures to serve us,
   prophets to advise us, angels to minister to us;
   had you come to visit us, to weep for us,
   that would have been a great mercy.
But you came yourself, and you came
   to lay down your lifeblood, all for your people.
That you should be cursed, that we might be blessed;
   forsaken, that we might not be forsaken;
   condemned, that we might be acquitted:”
― Tim Chester, Into His Presence: Praying with the Puritans
