In Fine; MAKE the Experiment, and you will certainly find; That the Skill and Will, to make a Glorious CHRIST the continual Resort of your Minds, by forming some Suitable, Savoury, Precious Thoughts of Him, will Marvellously sweeten the most Bitter Waters that ever can be met withal. A Servant of GOD may sweetly say, O my GOD, I have parted with all the Things in this World; and I have but one Thing left unto me. This one Thing have I desired, and This will I seek after; That I may have a Glorious CHRIST, not only concerned for me, but also possessing of me; and that I may have Him continually dwelling in my Thoughts, and furnishing me with the Precious Thoughts, wherein I may perpetually Feed and Live upon Him. I care not though I am dript of every thing else, if I may but enjoy […] Felicity. The Name of thy SAVIOUR ⟨p. 24⟩is, I AM. Think on all the Good thou hast Occasion for, and Hear Him, Yea, Feel Him saying, I AM all that that thou hast Occasion for.
