2. This love is the moving wheel, it is that which sets all the Attributes of God 1a working for you (the Wisdom, and Power, and Goodness, and Mercifulness, and Graciousness, and faithfulness of God) yea which sets every person of the Trinity a working for you; It is the love of the Father which did put him upon the thoughts, and upon the gift of Christ: It is the love of the Son which did put him upon the giving of himself, upon dying for you: And it is the love of the Spirit which did put him upon the giving of himself unto you, and working all his works for you.

3. This love is the reason of their delight in you; you are made near by it, and become 1exceeding dear unto every one of them: the Father takes pleasure in you, and so doth the Son, and so doth the Spirit; they take delight in your persons, and in your graces, and in your services: and every one of them manifests himself unto you, and makes known their relations unto you.
