What is thy Beloved?
All professors see not with one measure of light: the Spouse is a wonder to many professors not so acquainted with Christ; some are led to heaven through much love-sickness and pain, and others with stronger influences of grace upon the soul then others; it rebukes such as are censorious and uncharitable to others, because they have not thronged through the same needle-eye with themselves.
Ah! 1. How many cast we out that Christ receives in? Rom. 14. 3. Luke 7. 39.
2. We look to what men have not, and not to what they have, and consider not what God may give them, Matth. 19. 30.
