Fourthly, Again, if the pleasantness be spiritual, it 1is our strength, it carries on the soul in the ways of God more fully, it is oil that causes the wheels of thy soul to go on more freely in the ways of Religion.

If you have had pleasure in natural things, and when you come to spiritual things, your hearts are dead, certainly you went beyond your bounds.
