Sect. 4. To make it yet more apparent, that our Obedience is the best Argument and highest Expression of our Love, let us compare the way of reckoning by our Saviour in the Text, with that most general way of reckoning which we observe amongst our selves. Do we not ever reckon Him the lovingst Subject to his Soveraign, whom we find the most exact in keeping the Oath of his Allegiance? And who, in reverence to his Loyalty, despiseth his Livelihood, and his Life too? Do we not worthily reckon Him the lovingst Son unto his Parents, who obey's them in all things, without Exception? And conforms to their will, however cross unto his own? Do we not justly reckon Him the lovingst Servant to his Master, who goes as soon as he is sent and comes as soon as he is call'd, and does exactly as he is bid? And does not our Saviour in the Text take the very same measure of our Affection? Does he not send us to our obedience, as the manifestation of our Love? He does not say, If ye love me, believe the Truth of my Promises, |
