Believers, they did as it were, come forth of the womb of his love. There is the very picture of a believer upon the heart of Christ. So that he cannot look upon his hands or his heart but he must be put in mind of us: so dear was was his love to us. What characters of love be there that cannot be found in Christ? Love covereth a multitude of faults. And O how may this be seen in Christ? we have may sins; and yet Christ passeth by them all. Thou art all fair, there is no spot in thee, Cant. 4. 7. Again Love is strong as death. And so it was in Christ, his love was stronger than death: he under went death it self for us. He was not afraid to pass under the pangs of death that he might redeem us. Again, love fills the heart with love to the person beloved what a dear respect hath Christ for his spouse! every thing of theirs is sweet to him. Come my Love that art in the clefts of the Rock, in the secrets places of the stairs, let me see thy Countenance, let me hear thy voice, for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely, Cant. 2. 14. The Church says she is black but Christ says she is comely. But more particularly, I shall show you some evidences of the greatness of Christ's love. His letters, are letters of Love. His lips, they are lips of Love. His Tokens, are the tokens of Love. His Testament, is the evidence of Love. His Blood is a stream of Love.
