A87508	Doctor Hammond his Ektenesteron, or a greater ardency in Christ's love of God at one time, than another proved to be utterly irreconcileable with 1. His fulnesse of habituall grace. 2. The perpetuall happinesse, and 3. The impeccability of his soule. By Henry Ieanes, minister of Gods Word at Chedzoy in Somerset-shire	Jeanes, Henry, 1611-1662.	1657 (1657)	Wing J506; Thomason E925_3; ESTC R202617	26,724	44

love_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o aver_v that_o to_o have_v be_v capable_a of_o far_a intention_n you_o aver_v that_o the_o habitual_a grace_n of_o christ_n be_v capable_a of_o far_a intention_n

sin_n and_o prepare_v to_o make_v answer_n to_o it_o viz._n that_o christ_n be_v above_o the_o law_n and_o do_v more_o than_o the_o law_n require_v but_o man_n fall_v short_a by_o many_o degree_n of_o what_o be_v require_v but_o sure_a this_o answer_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o matter_n now_o in_o hand_n for_o the_o evidence_n of_o which_o that_o example_n of_o christ_n be_v bring_v by_o i_o viz._n that_o sincere_a love_n be_v capable_a of_o degree_n this_o be_v first_o show_v in_o several_a man_n and_o in_o the_o same_o man_n at_o several_a time_n in_o the_o several_a rank_n of_o angel_n and_o at_o last_o in_o christ_n himself_o more_o ardent_a in_o one_o act_n of_o prayer_n than_o in_o another_o 8._o here_o the_o reader_n find_v not_o the_o word_n christ_n love_n of_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o further_a degree_n and_o when_o by_o deduction_n he_o endeavour_v to_o conclude_v they_o from_o these_o word_n his_o conclusion_n fall_v short_a in_o one_o word_n viz._n further_o and_o it_o be_v

christ_n love_n of_o god_n be_v capable_a of_o further_a degree_n be_v ready_o interpretable_a to_o this_o dangerous_a sense_n that_o christ_n love_n of_o god_n be_v not_o full_a but_o so_o far_o

the_o matter_n be_v clear_a the_o degree_n of_o which_o christ_n love_n of_o god_n be_v capable_a be_v by_o i_o thus_o express_v that_o his_o love_n be_v more_o intense_a at_o one_o time_n than_o at_o
