As Judah said of Benjamin. Jacobs life was bound up in the Lads life, Gen. 44.30. So the Soul of Christ; my life, my joys, my comforts, they are all bound up in thee. All my fresh springs are in thee; saith God of his Church, Psal. 87.7. And, whom have I in Heaven but thee! and in earth in comparison of thee! Psal. 73.25. saith the enamoured soul of God, his heart was taken with God, and he lived in God more than in himself.
