Obj, Are not all the Creatures of God good, and ought we not to be merciful to our Beasts?
Ans. He doth not forbid mercy or love to Beasts or Creatures, but he would not have your love terminated in them, bounded in them, he would not have you rejoice or delight in the Creature, before you have part in the Creator, for if you affect these things for themselves, the love of God is not in you.
