The More We Pay For Any Truth,

This New Birth In Christ, Thus Firmly Believed And Continually Desired, Will Do Everything That Thou Wantest To Have Done In Thee, It Will Dry Up All The Springs Of Vice, Stop All The Workings Of Evil In Thy Nature, It Will Bring All That Is Good Into Thee, It Will Open All The Gospel Within Thee, And Thou Wilt Know What It Is To Be Taught Of God.

If Our Life Is Not A Course Of Humility, Self-denial, Renunciation Of The World, Poverty Of Spirit, And Heavenly Affection, We Do Not Live The Lives Of Christians.

Divine Love Is Perfect Peace And Joy, It Is A Freedom From All Disquiet, It Is All Content And Happiness; And Makes Everything To Rejoice In Itself.

They, Therefore, Who Are Hasty In Their Devotions And Think A Little Will Do, Are Strangers Both To The Nature Of Devotion And The Nature Of Man; They Do Not Know That They Are To Learn To Pray, And That Prayer Is To Be Learnt As They Learn Other Things, By Frequency, Constancy, And Perseverance.

Perfection Does Not Consist In Any Singular State Or Condition Of Life, Or In Any Particular Set Of Duties, But In Holy And Religious Conduct Of Ourselves In Every State Of Life.
