Quest. 5 Is no• this too great a sign of the littleness of your Love unto him? Did you ⟨p. 25⟩love him, would you not desire to be there where he is wont to take his walk? Did you love him, would you not desire to eat and drink at his Table, yea, to feast upon him? And to be there where you may find him, and where he manifests himself unto them that love him? Did you hunger after him, and thirst for him, would you not desire to be there, where you may be filled and satisfied?
Quest. 6 Is not this too great a sign of your slighting Communion with him? That you do not set so high a price and valuation of fellowship with him? Or do you complain that you have it not, and yet will not come where you may have it?
Quest 7. Is not this too great a sign that you set little by the comforts of the Spirit, and the warming joys of the Holy Ghost? Is it not here that God hath shed abroad his love into the hearts of true believers, and sent them away with their hearts full of joy, and their mouths of praises? Or do you complain you have no comfort, and that you are a stranger to spiritual joy, and will not come where you may not only have a taste, but drink full draughts of the Well of Consolation.
