I answer, Love is indeed the badge of Christs Disciples, An. 1 the very Genius of the Saints. And love hath broad shoulders, it can bear much, yea love can bear all things, which consist with love; but sin doth not. Love is the fulfilling of the Law, and sin is the transgression of the Law, therefore love cannot bear sin. 1Bear one another's burdens (saith S. Paul to his Galatians) and so fulfil the Law of Christ. Love can bear any thing that concerns the fulfilling of the Law, but if anything be a breaking of the Law it cannot bear that. It can bear the infirmities and passions of others, It can bear the afflictions and sufferings of others, it can bear ⟨p. 43⟩the wrongs and injuries of others against it self, but it cannot bear wrongs and injuries done to God.
