summary:
  Every Creature of God is good ; and every degree of goodness does naturally require a sutable degree of love ; and our love is then reasonable , and such as becomes wise and sober men , when we do , as much as may be , proportion our affections to the worth and dignity of the Object . First , We should labour to get a true notion and estimate of things : For we are commonly mistaken ; the world imposes upon our Imaginations , it cheats us into an unreasonable fondness , before we can tell what it is with which we are so strangely enamoured .

  A sermon directing what we are to do, after strict enquiry whether or no we truly love God preached April 29, 1688.

summary:
  I am a Lover of God , or I have the love of God in me , though I can't tell that ever I put forth one act of love towards him in all my Life ; I have the love of God in me , though I never knew what it meant to do good to any for his sake , against the express words of Scripture : How dwelleth the love of God in such a man ? I have the Love of God in me , though I have constantly indulged my self in that which he maketh an inconsistent love : Love not the World , nor the things which are in the World. For know , that the loving God , or not loving him , does more distinguish a Saint from a Devil , than wearing a Body , or not wearing it , can do : A Devil ▪ if he did love God were a Saint A Man that doth not love God , he is no other , though he wear a Body , than an incarnate Devil : It 's the want of love to God that makes the Devil a Devil , makes him what he is .

  A visitation of love to the tender plants of Gods vineyard given forth by Henry Jackson ; also two generall epistles, given forth by William Caton.

summary:
  And if God had not suffered this as a snare in the hand of our enemies , there would have been something else , ( as there are besides things many ) which they take up as occasions ag●inst us , as covers for their wickednesse , and these things are not without the Lords permission , who will try his Jewells as Gold that is seven times purified , and the more that we keep our Consciences void of off●nce towards him and man , the more precious we shall be in his sight , but if we should love our Liberties , our Estates or Lives more then him who hath said , Swear not at all , and for the saving of these should swear , conttary to his command , we should not onely neglect answering his end in forbidding of it , but incurre his displeasure against us , and while through doing that which he forbids , we may think to save our Liberties , estates , and lives , we might even in a moment loose them all , for we know they are uncertain , therefore let us answer the Lords end in shewing us the evil of this also , and in being faithful in this , and in all other things , we shall find life , riches , and liberties , which the world can neither give us , nor take from us . DEar and tender plants of my heavenly Father , the salutation of my love dearly doth greet you all , in the spirit that giveth life , by which you are brought afresh to my remembrance , even at this present time , ( in these my present bonds , for the word of God , and the testimony of Christ Jesus : ) and that not without living breathings ariseing in my heart unto the Lord for you , that the God of all life , vertue , and living refreshment may daily water and nourish you with his heavenly life , love , and vertue , causing you to abound in all the fruits of righteousnesse , to the everlasting praise of his great and glorious Name ; that so you being fully rooted , fixed , and established , in the root of life ( the stem and off-spring of David ) may grow up as plants of righteousness , and flourish as Willows by the water courses , that your branches may never wither , nor your fruit perish : but that the vertue of your leaf may be for the healing of the Nations , and your fruit may remain , ( in the winter stormes and tempests , ) to the everlasting praise and glory of the Lord God of the vine-yard , who hath planted and watered you , and who also hath and will give an encrease unto all you , who exalt not above the root , nor lift up your selves against the other branches , but abides in the true vine , and keeps your place in the ground and root of life , into which the Father hath implanted and grafted you , that ye never may be plucked up , nor cut off as withered and unfruitfull branches , but that the vertue of the root of life , may put forth it self through you , and in the vertue and life thereof you may grow up , fructifie , and abound in all the fruits of righteousness , thankesgiving and praise , to the everlasting glory and renown of the Lord of the vineyard , who is God over all , blessed for evermore .

  Universal love considered and established upon its right foundation being a serious enquiry how far charity may and ought to be extended towards persons of different judgments in matters of religion and whose principles among the several sects of Christians do most naturally lead to that due moderation required ... / Robert Barclay.

summary:
  God is Love , and he that dwelleth in Love , dwelleth in God. In both these Sects , the Reader may easily conceive that I had abundant occasion to receive Impressions contrary to this principle of Love herein treated of , seeing the straitness of several of their Doctrines , as well as their practice of Persecution , do abundantly declare how opposite they are to Universal Love ( as shall hereafter more at large be shown ) and Albeit , the time it pleased God to deliver me out of these Snares , I was so young , that it may be presumed my Observations could be but weak , and consequently my Experience inconsiderable ; yet for as much as from my very Child-hood I was very ambitious of Knowledge , and by a certain felicity of Understanding , I think I may say without Vanity , successful beyond many of my Equals in Age , though my Observations at that time were but weak , yet since I have with more leisure and circumspection gathered thence so much experience , as I am confident will serve for a sufficient foundation to any Superstructure I shall build upon it in this Treatise .

  Ignis cœlestis: or An interchange of diuine love betweene God and his saints. By Iohn Lewis, minister of Gods word at St. Peters in the tovvne of St. Albons

summary:
  God is as a fountaine of loue , who louing them first , hath so conueyed his loue into their hearts by the powerfull operation of his holy Spirit , that the streame returnes vnto himselfe againe : and as the Sunne by his power , with the motion of the heauens , is the cause of all naturall heate in these sublunary creatures : So is God by the motion of his owne diuine loue , the efficient cause that worketh the heate of loue in all that feare him : We loue him indeed but not of our selues , but we loue him , because he loued vs first . But the loue of God is of another kinde , and of another manner : for loue in God is most perfect , for that he is perfection it selfe ; but in vs loue is imperfect , being not without some passion and weaknes of minde .

  When burning with a short ardour , feigned Love sells it self to counterfeit flames , I acknowledge those fictitious Tapers , and vain Meteors , like the wandering Lights of the middle Region . Certainly all the whole force of Magic is seated in Love , of which this is said to be one Miracle , mutually to attract and change things by a certain commutation of Nature ; For that the Members of this world , like the Arteries of some great Animal , depending upon the same communion of Nature , are coupled together by a Spirit , that throws it self into the whole Body .

  [Apographē storgēs], or, A description of the passion of love demonstrating its original, causes, effects, signes, and remedies / by Will. Greenwood, [Philalethēs].

summary:
  To conclude this Chapter ; It may be , that some will expect , that I should prescribe some things to cause love ; as to teach them how to temper and spice an amatorious cup , and what time may be elected for the administring of it ; or how Love may be caused by natural Magick : but not knowing into whose hands the Book might come , neither do I write it to be an instrument ready tun'd for every wanton eye , tongue , and hand to play upon ; I forbear , lest more hurt then good come thereby : Love causeth him that doth love , to ingrave and imprint in his heart , that face and image which he loveth ; so that the heart of him that loveth is like unto a looking-glasse , in which the image of the party beloved shineth and is represented ; and doth as it were deprive himself of himself , and giveth himself to whom he loveth ; for the delights of love are commonly more in the imagination , then in the thing it self ; and the soul doth cast her eye upon those images which remain in the fancy , and looks upon them as if they were present .

summary:
  The absolute determination to will nothing would be no longer a disinterest , but the extinction of love which is a desire and true will : it would be no longer holy indifference ; for indifference is the state of a Soul , equally ready to will or will not , to will for God all that he wills , and never to will for ones self , what God does not declare that he wills : He that makes this Love to be speculative , would fret himself to a Skeleton , if God should put him to prove how this Love doth purifie and realize it self in the Soul.
