Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

SECT. XIV. The Description of Love to Christ.

LOVE to Christ is a special Grace wrought in the heart by the Spirit of God, enlightening the mind, whereby the Soul discerning the incomparable goodness, suitableness and communicability of Christ unto him, and in his judgment having a superlative valuation of him, the Will doth choose him before all; primarily for himself, and secondarily for his Benefits: and giving to him the predominant degrees of his Affections, resigneth himself to Christ in all his Offices; delighting in him, if present; desiring after him, if absent; or mourning for him, if he cannot find him.
