Sermon 4 › A HEAVENLY TREATISE OF THE DIVINE LOVE OF CHRIST.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
But hast thou prayed importunately, as the woman to the unjust Judge without giving over? 1This is a precious grace, and therefore God will have us bestow some pains in the getting of it. We shall not obtain it easily, that so we may prise it the more, and keep it the more charily. The grace of Christ, saith Paul, was abundant with me in faith and love, 1 Tim. 11. 14. This is that which the Apostle magnified so much, that God had given him love. The grace of Christ was abundant towards him in giving him love.
