5. Sign.
An heart taken with Christ hath high appreciations and valuations of Christ. It values and esteems him above all the comforts and contentments in Heaven and Earth, Psal. 73, 25. Whom have I in Heaven, but thee! and in the Earth, in comparison of thee! Here is the breathing of a soul taken with Christ. He prizeth Christ above all the comforts and contents in the World.
