God hath made the soul (as I said) for these 1heavenly things; and when the soul and they close together, there is a sweet embracing then the soul is raised above it self, the soul is quieted, and stilled, and satisfied. There is nothing in the world else will better the soul, but the embracing of these things; nothing ⟨p. 268⟩else will beautify, and adorn the soul in God• sight, our souls are made for them, our desires are made to embrace them, our love, and o• joy to delight in them, our wills to cleave to them, and •ke choice of them above other things.
