SECT. XV.
15. A godly man is a zealous man; grace turns a Saint into a Seraphim,1 it makes him burn in holy zeal; zeal is a mixed affection, a compound of love and anger, it carries forth our love to God, and anger against sin in the most intense manner: Zeal is the flame of the affections; a godly man hath a double baptism, of water and fire, he is baptized with a spirit of zeal, he is zealous for Gods honour, truth, worship, Psal. 119. 139. my zeal hath consumed me; it was a crown set on Phinehas his head, he was zealous for his God. Numb. 25. 13. Moses being touched with a coal from Gods altar, in his zeal he breaks the Tables, Exod. 32. 19. our blessed Saviour in his zeal, whips the buyers and sellers out of the Temple, Joh. 2. 17. the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
