§. II.
A more particular Disquisition what manner of affection this is. The seat thereof, whether in his spirit or soul only, or in the whole humane nature. ⟨image 123⟩Some Cautious added. 121 This affection (for our better conceiving it,) set forth three ways. 1. Negatively, it is not in all things such as it was in the days of his flesh. 2 Positively, It is yet for substance the very same affection, and the seat of it is his bodily heart as well as his soul. 124 Four Cautions or Positions about this: 1. In what sense, or so far as his Body is made spiritual, so far are these Affections spiritualized, as they are in his body. 125 2. Hence, though they move his Bowels, yet they do not perturb or hurt him in the least. 126 3. All natural humane affections may be still in him that are not unbecoming his state & glory. And how much the having such affections are suitable to that state and relation wherein he is. 128 4. Though a passionate suffering be cut off, yet these affections are now more large and strong for the substance of them, then they were on earth. 130 3. Privatively. If his heart suffers not with us under our Infirmities, yet he hath less joy then his heart shall have when we are freed from all. 131 How the Scripture attributes some kind of Imperfection to some affection in him, and in what sense.
