10. By our love to God,1 we may conclude Gods love to us. 1 John 4.9. We love ⟨p. 122⟩him, because he first loved us. O saith the •oul, if I knew God loved me, I could rejoice; dost thou love God? then thou mayst be sure of Gods love to thee. As it is wi•• Burning Glasses; if the Glass burn, it is because the Sun hath first shined upon it, else it could not burn: So if our hearts burn in love to God, it is because Gods love hath first shined upon us, else we could not burn in love. Our love is nothing but the reflex of Gods love.
