Matthew22:37
Verse 37. Thou shalt love the Lord] God must be loved and honoured by us, [non-Latin text not transcribed], saith one, truly, that there be no halting, and totally that there be no halving: he will not divide with the devil, as the Circassians are said to divide their whole life between rapine and religion. Gods service must be the totum hominis: Eccles. 12. 13. and the bonum hominis, Mic. 6. 8. We should Brcer. Enq. love him infinitely: which, because we cannot, we must love him unfeignedly: but how far short we come of loving him with all our heart, soul, strength, &c. (which yet the Papists affirm feisable) appears by our lives, which, do what we can, are fuller of sinnes, then the firmament is of starres, or the furnace of sparks.
