But hee found his line too short, his measure would not reach, therefore hee concludes it a love beyond all knowledge.
A man may express much love, but he may conceive of more than he can express. Why this love of Christ is above all we can conceive, above knowledge. It is an infinite love. It is, I say, an infinite love, which is more than if I should lay all the bowels in the Creature together, &c.

A greater love than all. Witness what is done, suffered, and yet love above all. And therefore Christs Heart is exceedingly taken with his Church and People.
