8And then from the nature of the affection of love it self where it is planted; it is an affection of perfect union, contract will not serve, but marriage must come after. Love will not satisfy it self in imperfect union, but it cries, Come, Come, still it is carried in a restless desire, till it come to perfection. Therefore put the case the Jews were called and converted, and Antichrist subdued, hath the Church an accomplishment of the period of her desires, to say no more Come? oh no: yet Christ is not come as he will, there is not a perfect consummation of all, until that of time it self, there will be a desire of the Bride and Spouse, to say, come. Thus we see what grounds there are of this desire.
