The example of such as are loving, and bountifull to us in particular.
The example of such as we have interest in, that are near and deer to us, and we to them. These four things commend examples. Now is there any greater or more excellent person then Christ? ⟨p. 63⟩Is there any fuller of love, and mercy, and grace then he: that hath made himself poor to make us rich? And all of us (if we be Christians indeed) we have interest in this; our hearts and consciences by the Spirit of God have some persuasion of this. And then again he is dear and near unto us, he is our Head and Husband, he is all in all unto as. Therefore the example of Christ joined with his grace, it is a wondrous forcible example.

How shall we make this example of Christ profitable to us.1
