Zeal, if any man know not the nature of the word, is an earnest affection and vehement love, as is the love of a mother towards her children, or of the natural child towards his mother. This zeal cannot abide to see that thing which it loveth, despised or hurt. Such a zeal and care carieth God over his people, he loveth them as a mother loveth her little children: he will not suffer them to be hurt. By the Prophet Isaiah he saith, Can a woman forget her child, & not have compassion on the son of her womb? though 1they should forget, yet will I not forget thee. Zechariah also saith, He that toucheth you, toucheth 2the apple of his eye. For God hath said, they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Such care likewise hear all the godly towards their God, they love him with all their soul, with all their heart, with all their strength: they reverence him as their dear father, they are grieved at any blasphemy, and with any contempt of his holy name.
