But if CHRIST be our delight, our hearts are with him. Dominus ascend• […] coelum, ascendat cum illo cor nostrum, Aug. His body doth not descend down to […], we must ascend up to it. Indeed if in so large a quantity it be presently real in the Sacrament, as it was on the Cross, in full dimensions; what need any man lift […] his heart, to that he holds in his hand? No, he is above, contained in the heavens, […] the time of restitution: and if he be our joy, thither we also aspire: Ubi amor, […] culus: ubi dolor, ibi digitus: ubi cor, ibi thesaurus. The finger points to the grief, […] eye follows the pleasure, and the heart follows the treasure. God hath given […] both a face to look, and a faith to climb upwards. Si sit sursumos, quare den••• cor? 1Ascendamus interim corde, ut sequamur corpore. Let us send up our hearts before, that our souls may follow after. How preposterous and mis-matched is […] erected countenance, and a grovelling spirit.
