Cor. 16. 22. We show that we love God, when we highly esteem Jesus Christ, and make much of him in our hearts, & strive to fire our affections toward him; and this must be our care through the passages of our life, to form in us the love of the Lord Jesus, that we may long after him, and have the desires of our souls after him, and his coming.
