2. Doth it not suppose preceding Infidelity? That thou dost not believe what God saith concerning Christ, nor what shall be thy portion, and thy everlasting miserable condition without Christ?
3. Doth it not suppose a conceit of thy own Righteousness, which if thou sawest to be insufficient, would Christ be thus slighted and disregarded by thee?
4. Doth it not suppose Self-willedness? Thou wilt love what thou wilt love, and not him thou shouldst love, come on it what will. Is it not plain wilfulness when thou canst give no reason why thou wilt not love Christ, But because thou wilt not?
5. Doth it not suppose predominancy of sinful Self love? Carnal Self thou wilt love, and because ⟨p. 117⟩this in dominion is inconsistent with the love of Christ, thou dost omit the loving of him.
