A Divine Cordial

7. Love to God is permanent; it is like the •ire the Vestal Virgins kept in Rome, it doth not go out; true love boils over, but doth not give over. Love to God, as it is sincere without hypocrisy, so it is constant without apostasy. Love is like the Pulse of the body, always beating; 'tis not a Land-flood, but a Spring. As wicked men are constant in love to their sins; neither shame, nor sickness, nor fear of Hell, will make them give over their sins: so nothing can hinder a Christians love to God: Nothing can conquer love, not any difficulties, or oppositions, Cant. 8.6. ⟨p. 91⟩Love is strong as the Grave. The Grave swallows up the strongest bodies; so Love swallows up the strongest difficulties, Cant. 8.7. Many waters cannot quench love: Neither the sweet waters of pleasure, nor the bitter waters of persecution: love to God abides firm to the death, Ephes. 3.17. Being rooted and grounded in love. Eight things, as Chaff and Feathers, are quickly blown away; but a tree that is rooted, abides the storm; he that is rooted in love endures: True love never ends but with the life.
