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

Secondly, Is not Christ the most satisfying Good? Thou art Indigent, he will supply thee; thou art empty, he will fill thee; thou art poor, he will enrich thee. Oh for Love, for such a Saviour!

Thirdly, Is not Christ the most durable Good? When thy Riches shall fail thee, thy Pleasures and Honours, and Friends, shall fail, Christ will never fail, Psal. 73.26.

Fourthly, Is not Christ a peculiar Good? Given by peculiar Love, only to a peculiar People, bringing with him peculiar Privileges? When all other things thou lovest, are common to the bad, as well as to the good? Though a Worldly man, whose Heart and Hands, and House, are full of the World, might say Riches are mine, yet he cannot truly say, Christ is mine. Let him have from thee peculiar Love, and he will be to thee a peculiar Good.
