2. And in the same will there must be a well regulated Love, to all Gods works, according as he is manifested or glorified in them: To the humanity of our Redeemer; to the glory of Heaven, as it is a created thing; to the blessed Angels, and perfected spirits of the just, to the Scripture, to the Church on earth, to the Saints, the Pastors, the Rulers, the holy Ordinances, to all mankind, even to our enemies; to our selves, our souls, our bodies, our relations, our estates, and mercies of every rank.
3. And herewithall must be a hatred of every sin in our selves and others: Of former sin, and present corruption, with a penitential displicence and grief; and of possible sin, with a vigilancy and resistance to avoid it.
3. And in the Affections there must be a vivacity and sober fervency, answering to all these motions of the Will; in Love, Delight, Desire, Hope, Hatred, Sorrow, Aversation and Anger; the complexion of all which is godly Zeal.
