they ever (and not without infinite cause) praise thee. Lord, grant me this happiness, what ever thou deniest me, that my ⟨p. 14⟩heart may be thine everlasting home. Ah, what an holy emulation hath this Saint at the spirits above, that they should have so much and he so little; that they should drink full draughts out of the Rivers of pleasures, and he can only taste God to be gracious. Ah, what an heavenly vexation hath he at the necessities of his body and family here below, that they must call him away, and hinder his Communion with his beloved! O how willingly would this soul be separated from its dearest Wife, that it might more nearly be conjoined to its dearer Husband. Surely such a soul would with cheerfulness die in these embraces of Christ, breathing out with Austin, 1Lord, since no man can see thee and live, O let me die, that I may see thee.
