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

2. No other worship will become Love. Worship is an act of love and delight. Now love is seen in admiring the Excellencies of that glorious Being whom we love, and ascribing all to him, as being deeply affected with his Goodness, Rev. 4. 10. The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. They fell down not out of astonishment but reverence, and cast their Crowns before the Throne. Whatever Honour they have, they had it from God, and are content to lay it at his feet, from whom they have life, and being, and all things. They have such an high esteem of God, that before him they cannot be too vile. They are unworthy to wear any Crown in Gods presence, and are content that their Honour be a footstool to advance and extol his Glory. Certainly those that are heartily affected to God will go about ⟨p. 199⟩his Worship, as with Cheerfulness, so with Humility and Reverence.
