Sect. 7. 'Tis true indeed if we consider, that in Him is all goodness, and that goodness is Beauty in its Perfection, and that Beauty is not the Common, but the more proper object of Love, (as Colours are of sight, and Sounds of hearing, ) And that Beauty in its Perfection is Loves last object and resort, the very Center wherein it rests, and wherein when it rests, it cannot possibly go astray, (all extravagance of desire being quite lost into Fruition, ) and by consequence that there is nothing more natural to a Christian, than to place his whole Love upon Jesus Christ; if (I say) we consider such things as these, it may be matter of some Amazement, |
