Oh that we were thus taken with the love of our lovely and loving God!
'Tis likewise said of Mary, that by strength of love, she was dead to all the objects of the world; she had her thoughts so employed on her Jesus, that she was almost insensible: She had eyes, and saw not; ears and heard not; senses and felt not; she was not where she ⟨p. 247⟩was, for she was wholly where her master was, though she knew not where he was: She knew no are but that of Love; all in her turned to the love of him whom she loved above all.
