1. From want of true and unfeigned love to Jesus Christ, and his interest. Love is a most powerful affection, the Master wheel that carrieth the whole Soul after it. Amor meus pondus me•, saith Aug. •o feror quo•unque feror. As the primū mobile in the heavens carrieth all the other Spheres about with it, so Love carrieth the whole man with it. Love is as strong as death, many waters cannot quench love, neither can the flood drown it. If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be contemned, ⟨p. 16⟩Cant. 8. 6, 7. If we did love the Lord Jesus and his Gospel, in good earnest, we would rather part with Liberty, Estate, Life, and all our own things, than lose the things of Christ as the blessed Martyrs did. But because there are few men that love Jesus Christ in sincerity, hence it is that most men seek their own things, and not the things of Christ.
