“This was love indeed that God should take a filthy wretched thing and spread His skirts over it, and cover its nakedness, and swear unto it, and enter into a covenant with it, and make it His;  that is, that He should espouse this loathsome thing to himself, that he would be a husband to it;  this love unfathomable, love inconceivable, self-principle love;  this is the love of God to man, for God is love.”  (James Janeway; 1636-1674)
