15. In the continuance of Christs love: Having loved his own, he loved them unto the end. His love is a constant love, an everlasting love: no provocation or transgressions could ever make him forget his love;2 Thou hast played the harlot with many lovers, yet return unto me. Such must be the love of husbands, a firm love, an inviolable love: the ground of it must be Gods Ordinances, and the support of it must be an inviolable resolution, that no provocation shall ever change it, or alter it. Husbands must pass by all infirmities, endeavouring in love to redress them, if possibly they can, or if not, to bear with them.
