1. Vnion, I will come in to him, that is, I will unite my self with the opening believing soul, he shall be mystically one with me, and I with him.
2. Communion, I will sup with him, and he with me; that is, I will feast the believing soul with the delicates of Heaven. Such comforts, such joys, such pleasures as none in the World but Believers are capable of.
