and the more fervent the love of God is to us, the more cold is our charity to him, and to others for him. As if the sweet dews of Hermon had made the hill of Zion more barren.
and the more feruent the loue of God is to vs, the more cold is our charity to him, and to others for him. As if the sweet dews of Hermon had made the hill of Syon more barren.
It is written of the Thracian flint, that it burns with water, and is quenched with oil: a fit Emblem of those wicked souls, that are the worse for Gods endeavour to better them. But such contrary effects hath the Gospel in contrary natures. As by the heat of the Sun wax is softened, and yet clay is hardened: so by the preaching of the word, the hearts of such as shall be saved, are mollified; but the hearts of the lost are further obdurate. God in his wis• justice will be even with men: since they will not be the better for his favours, they shall be the worse. Seeing they will not bring forth herbs, they shall cast forth weeds: and he that might not in their salvation, will be glorified in their subversion. For application.
