Again, what we esteem highly of, we speak largely of. A man is always eloquent in that he ⟨p. 174⟩esteems: it will put him to the extent of his abilities, to be as eloquent as possible he can be: you never knew a man want words for that he prized, to set it out. Therefore when we want words to praise God, and to set out the value of the best things, it is an argument we have poor esteem of them. All go together, GOD, and the things of GOD: What do we talk of loving GOD, and despise Christians, and Religion? they are never severed. If a man esteem the best things, he will be often speaking of them. If a man set his affections upon a thing, it will suggest words at will. Therefore ⟨p. 175⟩those that are clean out of their Theme, when they speak of good things, are to seek. Alas, where is the affection of love? where is esteem? esteem it makes a readiness to speak.

Againe, what we esteem highly of, wee speake largely of. A man is alwayes eloquent in that hee ⟨p. 174⟩esteemes: it will put him to the extent of his abilities, to bee as eloquent as possible hee can bee: you never knew a man want words for that hee prized, to set it out. Therefore when wee want words to prayse God, and to set out the value of the best things, it is an argument wee have poore esteeme of them. All goe together, GOD, and the things of GOD: What doe wee talke of loving GOD, and despise Christians, and Religion? they are never severed. If a man esteeme the best things, hee will be often speaking of them. If a man set his affections upon a thing, it will suggest words at will. Therefore ⟨p. 175⟩those that are cleane out of their Theame, when they speake of good things, are to seeke. Alas, where is the affection of love? where is esteeme? esteeme it makes a readinesse to speake.
