made again in Christ. The preaching of mercy in Christ quickened our hearts through faith, wrought by the spirit of Christ, which God poured into our hearts, ere we wist.

Ver. 11.

"Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, then ought we to love one another."

If we felt the love of God in Christ's blood, we could not but love again, not only God and Christ, but also all that are bought with Christ's blood. If we love God for the pleasures that we receive, then love we ourselves. But if we love him, to do him pleasure again; that can we no otherwise do, than in loving our neighbours for his sake, them that are good to continue them in their goodness, and them that are evil, to draw them to good. Love is the instrument wherewith faith maketh us God's sons, and fashioneth us like the image of God, and certifieth us that we so are, And therefore commandeth Christ (Mat. v.), "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that persecute you, that ye may be the sons of your heavenly Father, which maketh his sun rise over good and bad, and sendeth his rain upon just and unjust :" yea, which made the sun of his mercy shine upon us, and sent the rain of the blood of his dear and only Child upon our souls, to quicken us and to make us see love to love again.
