Love is as communicative as fire, as busy and as active...
Holy Living (1650)
Love is the greatest thing that God can give us; for himself is love; and it is the greatest thing we can give to God; for it will also give ourselves and carry with it all that is ours.
Holy Living (1650)
Celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
...if love hath filled all the corners of our soul, it alone is able to do all the work of God.
Holy Living (1650)
Make use of time, if thou valuest eternity. Yesterday cannot be recalled; to-morrow cannot be assured; to-day only is thine, which, if thou procrastinatest, thou losest, which loss is lost forever.
