“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)
