3. LEARN the Use hereof from the Actings of contrary vicious Habits. When the Minds of Men are vehemently fixed on the pursuit of their Lusts, they will be continually ruminating on the Objects of them, and have a thousand Contrivances about them, until their Eyes become full of an Adulteress and they cannot cease from sinning, as the Apostle speaks. The Objects of their Lusts have framed and raised an Image of themselves in their Minds, and transformed them into their own Likeness, is this the way of them who go down to the Chambers of Death? Do they thus frame their Souls, and make them meet for Destruction, until their Words, Gestures, Actions, proclaim the Frame of their Minds unto all that look upon them? And shalt we be slothful and negligent in the Contemplation of that Glory which transforms our Minds into its ⟨p. 35⟩own Likeness, so as that the Eyes of our Understandings shall be continually filled with it, until we see him and behold him continually, so as never to cease from the ho•y Acts of Delight in him, and Love unto him?
