A Divine Cordial

5. Love is Liberal; it hath Love-tokens to bestow, 1 Cor. 13.4. Charity▪ [Greek or Hebrew] is •ind: Love hath not only a smooth tongue, but a kind heart. Davids heart was fired with love to God, and he would not offer that to God which cost him nothing, 2 Sam. 24.24. Love is not only full of Benevolence, but Beneficence ▪ Love which enlargeth the heart, never straitens the hand. He that loves Christ, will be liberal to his Members; he will be eyes to the blind, feet to the lame; the backs and bellies of the poor, shall be the furrows where he sows the golden Seeds of liberality. Some say they love God, but their love is lame of one hand, they give nothing to good uses. Indeed faith deals about invisibles, but God hates that love which is invisible: Love is like new Wine which will have vent; it vents it self in good works. The Apostle speaks it in honour of the Corinthians, that they gave to the poor Saints, not only to, but beyond their power, 2 Cor. 8.2▪ Love is bred at Court, it is a Noble Munificent grace.
