1. Love commands the whole man; for it is in the Will, which is the commanding Faculty. Love
1. Commands and sets on work all the other affections. If a man love Christ, it sets Desires on work, if he be absent; it sets Joy on work, if he be present, if Christ be absent, and the Soul doth see a probability of obtaining him, Love sets Hope on work: If there be any impediments that hinders a man in his prosecution, it sets Anger on work for the removal of them.
2. Love commands the thoughts and mind: For love to Christ sets the mind on thinking on Christ, and meditating upon him. The mind doth muse upon what the heart doth love: Where love is sixth, the thoughts do dwell. Psal. 119.97. O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
