Christ nothing but Love all over. [ 1122]

IT is the observation of Sr. Walter Rawleigh,* 1.1 that if all the pictures and pat∣terns of a mercilesse Prince were lost in this world, they might all again be painted to the life, out of the story of K. Henry the eighth. But on the other side, the Iewes had such an high esteem of Esdras,* 1.2 that if mercy, love, and knowledge had put out their candle, at his brain they might light it again. Behold yet a grea∣ter then Esdras, Christ Iesus himself: If all our love were extinguished, at his love we might easily rekindle it:* 1.3 Not a word that he spoke▪ not a work that he did, not a passion that he suffered, but was an argument, a character of his love: He brought love, he bought love, he exercised love, he bequeathed love, he died in love: He is all love.
