The third Principle.
3. 1Draw not away your love when God draws not away his love; dare any man deny his love to that man, where God grants his love? 2If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. But is any man beloved and a lover of Christ? Oh take heed, deny him not your love. Let that of the spirit which appears in him, draw thine heart more towards him, then that of flesh which appears, take off thine heart from him.
