Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

(2.) In prayer a strong love to God is acted, for it is the expression of our delight in him, Job 27. 10. Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call upon God? Now we are changed into the likeness of him in whom we delight in. Love ⟨p. 37⟩transformeth and changeth us into the nature of what is loved; there is the difference between the Mind and the Will, the Mind draweth things to its-self, but the Will followeth the things it chooseth, and is drawn by them as the wax receiveth the impression of the Seal. Carnal objects make us carnal, and earthly things, earthly; and Heavenly things, Heavenly; and the love of God, Godly, Psal. 115. 8. They that make them are like unto them, so are all they that put their trust in them, stupid and senseless as Idols, it secretly stamps the heart with what we like and esteem and admire.
