In this is Love, herein is Love, it's here to be adored, admired for ever. Not that we loved him: for that had been Love, to have owned us, and accepted of us, But that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a Propitiation for our sins. Elizabeth is drawn to a wonderment at the coming of Mary: How comes it, that the Mother of my Lord, cometh unto me? Luke, 1.43. But how cometh it, that the Lord himself come? It's more than is usually observed, or indeed can be expected, that a man should send a choice Pearl from his Closet, a Diamond out of his Cabinet. But that one should send his whole Treasure, it's more than can be imagined, Or desired.
