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

VI. Do you love Christ, and yet hate what he doth love? Doth not true love make you love such as are beloved by him whom you do love? Do you love Christ and hate his Word? Did not David that loved God, esteem his Word, for the sweetness of it, more than Honey? Psal. 119.103: And for the worth of it, more than Gold? Psal. 119.72. Do you love Christ the Lord, and take no delight in the Lords-day, that is set apart for the commemoration of the wonderful work of mans Redemption, and filling us with joy at the remembrance of his Resurrection? Can you idle away this day? Can you spend it in Pleasures, and profane it with your vain Discourse and worldly Talk, when you should be delighting your self with the thoughts and speech of the great things that Christ did suffer, and by suffering procure for his People? Do not they that love and honour an earthly King, delight themselves, and show their joy, on his day of Coronation? I cannot be induced to believe that any man loveth Christ, that takes no care, and makes no conscience of the holy observation of the Lords-day.
