2. Likeness is the Load-stone of Love.
The In-let unto the hearts and affections of others, and calls out and requires a disposition in another, like unto it self. And this is here in greatest eminency. Look we at the constitution of the person of our Saviour, Hebr. 1.3. Called, the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. Nothing is more like, than a lively Image, resembling the Father, in the most perfect and infinite manner, none like him. Look at imitation, likeness in behaviour, carriage, and conversation, is that which enlargeth affection also: and this also is here to be seen. Joh. 5.19. The Son doth nothing, but what ⟨p. 152⟩he seeth the Father do. For whatsoever the Father doth, these also doth the Son likewise.
