3. The righteous will have a higher capacity for love in Heaven, than here they have, and they shall be filled with love unto the height of their capacity; they will be able to love a thousand times more than now they can do, and they shall love unto their utmost ability; they will see perfection of loveliness in God, and all that are about him, and they shall have perfection of love; here their love is sincere and growing, but it is weak and imperfect, hereafter it will be grown up to the full height of it, and perfect love will cast out all torment; here their love is mixed, the stream is divided, •t runs and wastes it self in many small rivulets, which empty themselves upon the creatures; but then the whole stream will run forth unto God individedly; not a drop of their love shall be •p•lt on the ground; God will be the sole object •f their love: here their love is uneven and inconstant to God; sometimes it ebbs, and sometimes it slows, sometimes they have a high and spring-ti•e of love to God, but at other times it […] low water; hereafter their love to God will be •ven and constant, and always at the greatest •eighth.
