1. Imagination. 2. Memorie.
1. Imagination, or the thinking power, which receiving the objects from the senses doth order, move and dispose them according to its own liking: and the duty of this is, to be thinking of God continually, more plentifully, largely, constantly, then of all other things. For though he be not subject to sense, yet from things subject to sense we are bound to form in our selves thoughts of his excellencies (according to our ability of conceiving,) viz. of his power, goodness, mercy, wisdom, &c. So as the mind of man should more abundantly busy it self in such conceits and thoughts of God, then of any other thing in the world, yea of all other things laid together.
