The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

Be well acquainted with the nature of this great duty. The great mistake of the world lies in this; That is thought to be love, which is not, and thence men and women grow bold and confident, and value themselves more than they ought. I have given in my best assistance, so far as the nature of the first case would permit to prevent mistakes in this matter before; and therefore I will not do it over again. Only remember, if you would not miscarry, that it is not a Naked Christ, but a Christ advanced by incomparable Personal Excellencies, and clothed with his offices of King, and Priest, and Prophet, that is the Christ to be loved, and you cannot well miscarry. This is that damning mistake of the world, they love Christ, but not as dignified by God with any of his offices.
