Held forth clearly in a sermon preached at the late sad and solemn funeral of the right worshipful Rowland Wilson, Esq; a Member of the Parliament of England, and of the honourable Council of State; and one of the aldermen and sheriffs of the city of London. By Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. and minister of the Gospel at Covent-Garden. Together with an epistle dedicatory: wherein is an exact account given upon some years more then ordinary experience of the superlative worth of this eminent servant of Christ, and of the Common-wealth.

Secondly, Unto you is Given a Superlative Love of Christ. Saw ye Him whom my Soul loveth? said the Church, Cantic. 3. 3. Thou Knowest that I love thee, said Peter, Joh. 21. 17. O Lord Jesus, said Bernard, I love thee more then All my Goods, 1and I love thee more then All my Friends, yea, I love thee more then All my Self. Now you know that Love seeks not her own, 1 Cor. 13. 5. All the powers and services of Love are His, whom we entirely ⟨p. 13⟩love: His we Are, and For Him we Are, whom we do love.
