admiration_n indeed_o after_o our_o great_a search_n into_o and_o discovery_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n the_o most_o we_o can_v do_v be_v admire_v not_o comprehend_v so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o

length_n and_o breadth_n therefore_o he_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n that_o it_o be_v a_o love_n beyond_o knowledge_n we_o may_v express_v much_o but_o we_o may_v conceive_v more_o this_o love_n be_v

take_v three_o general_a note_n from_o the_o word_n one_a that_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n be_v so_o rich_a and_o unsearchable_a so_o vast_a and_o boundless_a so_o matchless_a and_o unparallel_a so_o immense_a and_o infinite_a that_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n can_v understand_v it_o full_o so_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o express_v the_o infinite_a and_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o it_o they_o have_v a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o it_o but_o they_o know_v it_o but_o in_o part_n 1_o cor._n 13._o 9_o 2_o though_o this_o love_n of_o christ_n be_v unsearchable_a yet_o every_o

it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o stand_v and_o wonder_n stand_v and_o admire_v not_o be_v able_a perfect_o to_o comprehend_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o s●ints_n 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o
