7. 'Tis a matchless Love, far beyond the Love of Jacob to Rachel, or Jonathan to David.
8. 'Tis an incomprehensible Love, it passeth Knowledge. You may sooner find out the Depth of the Sea, the Height of Heaven, tell the Stars, or account the Sands of the Sea-shore, than find out or measure the Love of Christ.
