That God the infinite First-being, is infinitely worthy of all love for himself, that's a Heavenly Principle: the Saints that are in Heaven, they look upon the infinite excellency and glory of God, they look upon him as the First-Being of all things, having all excellency, and glory enough to satisfy all creatures for ever, and look upon him as infinitely worthy of all love and service for himself; know this is a heavenly Principle: So the Saints their conversation is in Heaven, they are acted by heavenly principles; I look upon such and such things in the world whereby I may go in credit, increase, or comfort, this is an earthly principle: But when my heart is so upon God, that it looks upon him as infinitely excellent and worthy of all love, service, fear, honour, and worship for himself alone, whatsoever becomes of the creature God is worthy of all for that infinite excellency in himself; this is a heavenly principle: and for one to be acted in his life by such a principle as this is, this is to be acted by heavenly principles, not by such low, and base principles as the men of the world are, but by heavenly principles.
