Yes; we may love them, as we see somewhat of God ⟨p. 13⟩in them; as every creature hath somewhat of GOD in them; whereupon GOD hath the style of every creature that hath good in it. He is called a Fountain, a Rock, a Shield, every thing that is good: to show that the Creatures, every one hath somewhat of GOD; he would not have taken the style of the Creature else. We may love the Creature as it hath somewhat of GOD in it, a being, or comfortable being, or somewhat, and as it conveys the love of God to us, and leads us back again to God. There is no Creature, but it conveys, some love, and beams, & excellency of God to us, in some kind, and leads us to God: ⟨p. 14⟩so we may love other things. We may love men and love GOD in them, and love them for God, to bring them to God, to leave a holy impression in them, to be like God, there is no question of this: but the love of God that is the spring of all.
