as to know or apprehend him, without the keeping of his Commandments, I shall begin with the great Difference betwixt the two natures of Love, and Knowledge. The end of Knowledge is to possess that which is True: but the end of Love is to possess that which is Good. Knowledge is an act of the Understanding, but Love a motion of the Appetite. Knowledge is seated in the Head, but Love especially in the Heart. Both are possessed of their objects by way of union; but the union of Knowledge seems meerly passive, as being made in the understanding ▪ which being possest of its object is quite at Rest. Whereas the union of Love is wholly Active, as being made in the Appetite, and by consequence in the Heart; which being possessed of its object by an Intentional union, is so very far from resting content with That, that it employs every Faculty to gain the object that is belov'd, not only by an intentional, but real union. |
