Whatever may be lacking to thy Hope, Meekness, &c. repair to this Love, and know there is no lack. I have the choicest Love of God, that either Heaven or Earth affords, and that is beyond the excellency of all Grace, and the chiefest of all Abilities, that either I do want, or can desire. He loves me, therefore let him do what he will with me, take what he will, Love will supply all; give that he will, Love is better than all. Cant. 1.1. His Love is better than Wine. As Elkanah comforted Hannah in the want of Children, Am not I better to thee, than ten Sons?
