Tenthly and lastly; This Union is real in contradistinction ⟨p. 28⟩to affectionate Union. 1Love is as an uniting affection, it makes the lover and the beloved one; as if two persons had but one Soul between them: thus Christ loves the Saints, Rev. 1.5. and the Saints love Christ again, 1 Pet. 1.8. Christ's love to them is the cause; their love to Christ, is the effect, 1 Jo. 4.19. Yet this Union is, rather a fruit of that Union (we are now speaking of) than the Union it self; as in Marriage, the conjugal bond, and conjugal love are distinct things: Indeed Love doth Unite Christ and the Saints, but Love is rather the fruit of this Union, than the Union it self; there is somewhat more real in this Union, than the Love it self.
