Sincere Love to God is a soul-warming affection,§18 it warmeth that heart, in which it is, with a spiritual heat, with a holy zeal for God, and the things of God; yea so warmeth it, that many waters cannot quench it, nor floods drown the fire, which it kindleth within: 1This is evident by the zeal of those, which have sincerely loved God in all ages, we may take all the Saints for an example of this, but I will instance only in Moses, and P•ul; Moses, 2who was the meekest man upon the earth, had his spirit so warmed with the love of God in his heart, tha• the fire of zeal brake forth in an unquenchable flame in him, when he saw God dishonoured, and an Idol magnified by the people of God. And Paul's spirit was hereby so stirred within •im,3 when he saw the people given to Idolatry, that he could not forbear to reprove it, whatever he underwent for it; All these had their hearts so warmed with the love of G•d, that neither water nor blood, could quench the flame that love had kindled; which evidently demonstrates this love to be a heart-warming Affection.
