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.
That which a man doth glad his heart with, and which he rejoices over, he must needs be taken with.
That which a man doth glad his heart with, and which hee rejoyces over, hee must needs bee taken with.
A man will not rejoice over the enjoyment of that he loves not. The rich Fool rejoiced over his full Barns, but it was because his heart was taken with his possessions.
A man will not rejoyce over the injoyment of that hee loves not. The rich Fool rejoyced over his full Barns, but it was because his heart was taken with his possessions.
Joy is a fruit of the hearts being taken with any thing; you rejoice in your riches, Husbands, &c. in the possession of what ever your heart loves. Now the Heart of Jesus Christ doth exceedingly rejoice over his Church and People; they are his by donation, God gave them to him; they are his by purchase, he laid down his life for them; if we lay down our life to compass a thing sure we rejoice in it.
