Sermon 6: Quest. How a Child of God is to keep himself in the Love of God. SERMON VI.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
I. He that will keep himself in the Love of God, must he himself love God; for Love deserveth Love, and Love begetteth Love: Gods Love worketh thus towards us, and therefore our Love must work towards God.1 Our Love to God is but the Reflection of the Beams of Gods Love upon us. Love Wisdom and she shall love thee; I love them that love me. And thus the Beams are doubled, and the Love of God to the Soul, and the Souls love to God increaseth the heat between both, as it is with the Sun shining on the Earth.
