Modern language sometimes seems to have lost a little

I have been reading a book by John Owen, a Puritan, and he describes how our minds should bend our hearts toward God’s love in language we just don’t use anymore…

“Continually act thoughts of faith on God, as love to you…let your mind know it, and assent that it is so; and your will embrace it, in its being so; and all your affections be filled with it.  Set your whole heart to it; let it be bound with the cords of this love.”

-John Owen.  

  We should really write like this again.
