Meditation 8. Behold the infinite love of God to mankind, and the love of Jesus Christ, that rather than God would see the children of men to perish eternally, he would send his Son to take our nature upon him, and thus to suffer such dreadful things; herein God shows his love; it is not the love of God so much in giving you a good voyage, and prospering you outwardly in the world; But, so God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son: And it pleased the father to break his Son, and to pour out his blood, here is the love of God and of Jesus Christ; Oh, what a powerful, mighty, drawing, efficacious Meditation should this be unto us!

Med. 9. Those that are believers they shall be nourished to eternal life, so that there is no fear that ever a believer should quite fall off from God, and die in his sin: Why? Because the body and blood of Christ is given unto him for his spiritual nourishment: though a believer be never so weak, yet seeing God hath appointed the body and blood of his Son for him to feed upon and to drink in a spiritual way, surely then the weakest ⟨p. 270⟩in the world will be strengthened to go through all the hazards, and dangers that there are in the world; 'tis this that strengthens Believers to encounter with all kind of dangers, it's this that preserves the weakest grace in a Believer, namely the Spiritual nourishment that God the Father hath appointed to them, even the feeding upon the body, and drinking the very blood of his Son; this is meat indeed, and drink indeed that will nourish to eternal life.
