IT so falleth out sometimes,* 1.1 that a great person of quality, hath a purpose to marry a poor kitchin-maid; he provides her cloths and all things suteable for such a state: She (poor wretch) little dreams of any such matter, is in the kitchin about her drudgery, and it cannot be said, but that he loves her still: Here now is an
intentionall love, a virtuall and fundamentall affection; but there will be another manner of love, when she comes to be his wife, and lie in his bosom. Thus wret∣ched sinfull Man, he is under wrath, a very bond-slave of Sathan, in a sad conditi∣on by nature, hath nothing in him that may deserve love; yet God intending to adopt him for his son, looks after him, and treasures him up in Christ Iesus. The poor sinner all this while knowes little of it, he is not justified, because he is not called;* 1.2 but when God shall be pleased to manifest himself, by the operation of his blessed Spirit, the love of Election, which was virtuall and fundamentall from all Eternity, will break out, and he shall be actually adopted, a child of God, and heir of eternall salvation.
