The more Profitable any love is, to the person loved, the greater is the love. Such is the love of Christ; for his love is such, That by him many sons are brought to glory, at the 10. verse. Sanctified while they live, at the 11. verse. Satan their deadly enemy subdued for them, at the 14, & 15: verses.
The more Distinguishing any love is, the greater is that love. Now Jesus Christ, as the great Load-stone, passes by the golden metal of Angels, and draws unto himself the Iron-metal of man kind, at the 16. verse: For verily, he took not on him the nature of Angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
The more Distinguishing any love is, the greater is that love. Now Jesus Christ, as the great Load-stone, passes by the golden mettel of Angels, and draws unto himself the Iron-mettal of man kind, at the 16. verse: For verily, he took not on him the nature of Angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Again, The more the person loving, does Suffer for the person loved, the more and the greater is the love. Christ suffered death, and he was while he lived subject to our infirmities, and unto our temptations: He was in all thing made like unto us, at the 17. verse. And he was tempted as we are tempted, that he might succour those that are tempted, at the 18. verse.
