But if I be godly; and all this be true: Why should I question the love of God towards me in the time of my temptation? Beloved! ye know it in your Experience, ye are never more apt for to question the love of Christ, than in temptation; and yet Christs love is never more at work for you, than in temptation. Oh! what an unworthy answering of Christs love is here!
