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

I promised to show you the Comfort, the Blessings, the Joy that Love to Christ will bring unto you; but I confess plainly I am posed. It is above my shallow understanding; here is a Depth, I cannot sound it; here is an Height, I cannot reach it; here is a Length and Breadth, I cannot compass it. As in the love of Christ unto the believing Soul, so in the love and joy that proceeds from the love of the believing Soul to Christ; The one is without measure, the other is above my measure. How shall I speak that which is unspeakable? and utter that which is unutterable? Will ye excuse me then, if I do not what I did purpose to do? And will ye loose me from my Promise, when what I did promise, I find upon the attempt of performance, it is above my Power? Or will ye tie me to do, because I promised, what I am not able? If so, will ye pardon my Weakness, wherein I shall come ⟨p. 199⟩short, if I tell you a way, whereby ye your selves shall be able to supply my defect? That is, Do ye so believe and love, that ye might feel what I cannot speak, and find that by Experience which cannot be uttered by Expressions; and taste that in your selves, which I cannot declare with my Tongue. The Tongue is the Instrument of Taste, as well as of Speech; and if ye would know the sweetness of Honey, ye might do it better with the tasting of your own Tongue, than by the telling of mine. But yet that ye may see my Will to attempt, where I want Power, I will not be altogether silent concerning these unspeakable things: For as we should labour to know the love of Christ to us, which passeth knowledge, Eph. 3.19. so we may endeavour to declare things that be unspeakable: To speak things that be unspeakable is impossible; but to speak something of, or concerning things unspeakable, (wherein I must acquiesce) is feasible: Tho' I do not undertake to bring you all things speakable concerning these unspeakable things; but these few follow.
