io A PERSUASIVE to 



Appreciative Love is fuch an affection 

 whereby we prize or value any one Objeft 

 above another. 



Senfible or Tafflonate Love is that which 

 hath a greater influence upon the Body, and 

 doth more itrongly move and affeft it. 



Our Love to God in this ftate is of the 

 firfl kind , fuch an aflfedion or difpofition 

 of Soul, whereby we prize him above all 

 things; fo that neither Father nor Mother, 

 nor Wife, nor Child, though they may 

 more fenfibly and paflionately affedt us, are 

 fo much efleemed by us, we can be con- 

 tent to part with them when God pleafes, 

 and quietly to fubmit to his Will. No 

 Worldly advantage, much lefs the gratify- 

 ing any Luft, can prevail with us to break 

 any one of his Commandments. Yet ought 

 we not to reft contented with this degree 

 of love to God , but to labour after that 

 which is more ardent and paflionate ; elfe 

 how can we fatisfie our felves in a Time of 

 Temptation, that our Obedience to God's 

 Commands proceeds not rather from a Prin- 

 ciple of Fear, or Self-love, than of love to 

 God.
