A Divine Cordial

3. A love of Benevolence, which is a wishing well […] the Cause of God^*. He that is endeared in affection to his friend, wisheth all happiness to him. This is to love God, when we are well-wishers, we desire that his Interest may prevail; our Vote and Prayer is, that his name may be had in honour; that his Gospel, which is the Rod of his strength, may like Aaron's Rod, blossom, and bring forth Almonds.

4. The Properties of love. 1. Our love to God must be entire, and that ex parte subjecti, in regard of the Subject, it must be with the whole heart. Mark 12.30. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God [Greek or Hebrew], with all thy heart. In the Old Law, an High Priest was not to marry with a Widow, nor with an Harlot; not with a Widow, because he had not her first love, nor with an Harlot, because he had not all her love. God will have the whole heart. Hos. 10.2. Their heart is divided. The true Mother would not have the child divided; nor God will not have the heart divided: God will not be an Inmate, to have only one Room in the heart, and all the other Rooms let out to sin. It must be an entire love.
