Heb. 2. 14, 15. Rev. 1. 5.
3. WHAT is the Freedom of it as unto any desert on our Part, 1 Joh. 4. 10. It was Hatred not Love that we in our selves deserved, which is a Consideration suited to fill the Soul with self-abasement, the best of Frames in the contemplation of the Glory of Christ.

By a distinct Prospect and Admiration of these Things, the Soul may walk in this Paradise of God, and gather here and there an Heavenly Flower, conveying unto it a sweet Savour of this Love of Christ. See Cant. 11. 2, 3, 4.
