There is no fear in ⟨p. 73⟩this love, because love being now perfected, hath cast out fear. And now the Saints come to see the reason of their love to God to be Gods love to them, and the reason of Gods love to them to be God himself; and in this the Soul sweetly acquiesceth triumphing for ever; I am my Beloveds, and my Beloved is mine; for he hath loved me with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness will he draw me, and I shall remain in his love for ever.
