SERMON IV.
PHIL. 1. 27. Only let your Conversation be as becomes the Gospel of Christ.
WE closed with this the last day,1 that we should love one another. This holds forth unto us, not only the love of God the Father, but the infinite love of Jesus Christ the second Person in Trinity, and this calls for love one to another; And I'll hint unto you one or two Scriptures more about this: there is union of Christian hearts in one bend of love: No duty more inculcated in the new Testament (next unto Faith, that great engine of the Covenant of grace) than Love, and love one unto another; and upon the consideration of the infinite love of God, and of Jesus Christ unto us.
