Consider, when had Jacob so sweet a nights rest, as when the pillow he laid his head upon was a hard stone? Then was that ladder set by him, by which his soul might climb up to heaven in a vision, whereof before he had but the speculation. The Angels were dancing those measures, and singing those raptures about him, which did in a manner angelifie him. His body lay on the bare earth, his soul with those spiritual wings of faith and love, was mounted above the clouds, above the orbs, even conversant in the highest heavens.
