1. It is a fruit of the Spirit of Holiness, of the Spirit of Christ, Gal. 5. 22. It is no more of our selves than Faith is, it is the Gift of God. Natural Affections are in-laid in the constitution of our Beings. Carnal Affections are grown inseparable from our nature as corrupted. Both excited by various Objects, Relations, Occasions, and Interest, do exert themselves in many outward effects of Love. But this Love hath no root in our selves until it be planted in us by the Holy Ghost. And as it is so, it is the principal part of the Renovation of our natures into the Image of God, who is Love. This Love is of God; And every one that loveth is born of God, 1 Joh. 4. 7. You are taught of God to love one another.
