A double summons the one, to unfeigned repentance. The other, to the worthy receiving…A double summons the one, to vnfained repentance. The other, to the worthie receiuing…

God indeed hath commanded his charity and love to us herein, that when we were very enemies unto him, he would give his own Son for us. That we being men, might become, as you would say, Gods; God would become man. That we being mortal, might become immortal, the immortal God would become mortal man. That we earthly wretches might be Citizens of Heaven, the Lord of Heaven would become as a man would say, earthly. That we being accursed, might be blessed, God would be accursed. That we, by our father Adam, being brought out of Paradise, into the puddle of all pain, might be redeemed, and brought into Paradise again, God would be our Father and an Adam, thereunto.

God indeede hath commanded his charitie and loue to vs herein, that when wee were very enemies vnto him, he would giue his owne Sonne for vs. That wee being men, might become, as you would say, Gods; God would become man. That we being mortall, might become immortall, the immortall God would become mortall man.

That we, by our father Adam, being broght out of Paradise, into the puddle of al pain, might be redeemed, and brought into Paradise againe, God would be our Father and an Adam, thereunto.

That we being vassals, and slaves to all, even to Satan the Fiend, might be Lords of all, and of Satan: the Lord of all would become a vassal, and a slave to us all, and in danger of Satan. Oh love incomprehensible. Who can otherwise think now, but if the gracious good Lord disdained not to give his own Son, his own hearts joy for us his very enemies, before we thought to beg any such thing at his hands; yea, before we were? who, I say, can think otherwise, but that with him, he will give us all good things? If when we hated him, and fled away from him, he sent his Son to seek us: who can think otherwise, then that now we loving him, and lamenting, because we love him no more, but that he will forever love us? He that giveth the more to his enemies, will not he give the less to his friends? God hath given his own Son, then which nothing is greater;
