He that loved us in our own blood, cannot choose but love us, as ⟨p. 58⟩we have his beauty put upon us; he cannot but love himself, and delight in himself, where-ever he doth behold himself: why these beauties are pieces of himself, part of his beauty, his rays wherewith he himself is adorned. And he cannot look upon any soul clothed with his Righteousness, and beautified with his Graces, but his heart is exceedingly taken with them, Cant. 6.4, 5. Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Christ seems as not able to bear the view of such a beauty. Turn away thine eyes, &c.
