Look over his last sermon, John 14. 15 and ⟨p. 209⟩16. chapters, how lovingly doth he dispute down the unbelieving fears of our hearts? Let not your heart be troubled. And he propounds loving arguments: though he be gone, he will send us the comforter: and he will not be long from us neither, and then we shall be in no worse a case or place than he himself. And in the mean time, his going from us is out of love to us: not because he wanted love for us, but because he went to prepare a place for us.
Look into his last prayer, and how lovingly doth he carry us in his arms to his Father, when he was going out of the world, begging his Father he would sancti•ie us, and keep us from the evil of the world, and that he would at length bring us to enjoy his glory.

Thirdly, His tokens are tokens of love. As a woman will be often looking over her tokens, because in these she sees the heart of her beloved; so if you would be in love with Christ be often looking over the love-tokens of Christ. Thou canst not turn thy eye but thou must see his tokens. But there are three or four tokens especially that you should be looking into.
