A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

II. When you thus consider the Blood of Christ, •hen draw forth holy Love to do its part, as Faith has done its. And indeed, when Faith goeth thus before […] will be more easy to act all the rest▪ Le• but Love see with Faiths Eyes, and it will quickly be inflamed. Let Faith make application, and love will quickly feel the benefit of it, and show it in its actings: O• how will Love flutter in your breast, whe• i• shall behold that precious blood that di• redeem you, and reconcile you unto God▪ Oh then bespeak your Love for God an• Christ: Look here, O my Soul! wha• love was this in God, to give his Son fo• thee! what love was this in Christ to give his life and blood for thee! precious blood for a vile and worthless sinner! O loo• again, O my Soul! here is pardoning blood for thee a sinner, here is softni•• blood for thee an hardened sinne•, and […] is reconciling blood for thee, who wa• once an Enemy to God Oh what lov• is this! Oh never love like to this! Hath God and Christ thus loved thee, Oh m• sinful Soul! and wilt not thou love hi• ⟨p. 127⟩back again? Hath God sent his Son to dye, and said unto him, O my well-beloved Son, go and dye for yonder sinner, and thereby commend my love unto him. O Lord, this love of thine doth overcome me? O Lord, thou hast out-loved me, if now my love were better, thou shouldest have it, but such as it is, thou shalt have it, Make it more and make it better, and still it shall be set upon thee. Oh my Soul, canst thou behold justifying blood, and not love him that shed it for thee? Canst thou behold precious, quickening, softening blood, and not love him that laid it down to quicken, and to soften thy heart, and redeem thee from Hell, and Sin, and Wrath.
