[ 1552] How it is, and why God loves us.
THe Ethnicks feign, that their Gods and Goddesses for some lovely good
loved certain Trees; Jupiter, the Oak for durance; Neptune, the Cedar
for stature; Apollo, the Laurel for greennesse; Venus, the Poplar for white∣nesse;
Pallas, the Vine for fruitfulnesse: But what should move the God of all
gods to love us poor Wildings in this Fools Paradise here below? Trees indeed
but such as Saint Jude mentions, corrupt, fruitlesse, twice dead and pluck'd up
by the roots, S. Bernard resolves it in three words, Amat quia amat, he loves us
because he loves us; The root of Love to us lieth in himself, and by his com∣municative
goodnesse the fruit is ours.
