Reas. 2. From the little cause a man hath to love God that hates his brother; take a man that is estranged from his brother, he is much more estranged from God.
1 Such a man hath no faith in God, that wants love to his brother, for faith works by love.
2 He can have no sense of Gods love, for God never reveals sensible love to such, as have no love to these brethren, and then how can we love God, if we have no sense of his love to us?
3 Much less can he have experience of Gods love to him, for he never had it.
3 Much lesse can he have experience of Gods love to him, for he never had it.
