A Divine Cordial

4. God is the most adequate and complete object of our love:¹ all the excellencies that ⟨p. 118⟩lye scattered in the creatures, are twisted together, and united in him; he is a Magazine of blessings; he is Wisdom, Beauty, Love, yea the quintessence of Goodness; he is Optimus Maximus; there is nothing in God can cause a nauseating or loathing; the Creature doth sooner surfeit than satisfy; but there are fresh beauties sparkling forth in God; the more we enjoy of him, the more we are ravished with delight.

1. 14.

There is nothing in God to dull our affections, or quench our love, no infirmity, no deformity, which do usually weaken and cool love. There is that delicious sweetness in God, as may not only entice, but command our love. If there were more Angels in Heaven than there are, and all those glorious Seraphims had an immense flame of love burning in their breasts to eternity, yet could they not love God equivalently to that infinite perfection and transcendency of goodness which is in him. Surely then here is enough to tempt us to fall in love with God; we cannot spend our love upon a better object.
