I drew them with the Cords of a man, and with the bonds of Love.
The Lord deals with us suitable to our Nature, Oh let 1us deal with God as far as we are able suitable to his nature. Why, doth God regard us as men; let us regard ⟨p. 58⟩him as God then, let us glorify God as a God; when the Lord hath to deal with us he considers we are men, when we have to deal with God let us consider he is God, and as the Lord is pleased to condescend to us as men, Oh! let us labour to ascend up to him as God. With Bonds of Love:
The Lord deals with us sutable to our Nature, Oh let 1us deal with God as far as we are able sutable to his nature. Why, doth God regard us as men; let us regard ⟨p. 58⟩him as God then, let us glorifie God as a God; when the Lord hath to deal with us he considers we are men, when we have to deal with God let us consider he is God, and as the Lord is pleased to condescend to us as men, Oh! let us labor to ascend up to him as God. With Bonds of Love:
- 1Obs. 4.
The word here translated Bonds, it is, Thick Cords, not 1only with Cords, (as you have it before) but with Thick Cords, so the word that is translated Bonds signifies; for it comes of a word that signifies to [Wreath] and to thicken with wrea hing; that as you see those that make Cords and Lines, they take their Hemp and wreath one Wreath, and then they take another and wreath that, and so another, and wind many Wreaths together, and so make a strong Cord, that's the propriety of this word.
