1.1 His Love to his Church Mystical is such, that no Mountain of opposition can stand before it, to hinder the enlargement & building of it up. This Reason you have Isai. 43. 3, 4. I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee, since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, [and I have loved thee:] therefore will I give Men for thee, and People for thy life. It is put upon this Reason, Quia amavi te, because I have loved thee; and that, ⟨p. 30⟩more then all the world. Or if you will have it expressed in the language of this similitude here in the Text, Mountains shall depart, and Hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, says God, Isai. 54. 10. It is such a kind of speech as that of Christs: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not a tittle of my word, &c.
