501 Life, XXIII | prayer, is the life which God lived in me,—so it seems
502 Life, XXIII | very deep conviction that God was with me, especially
503 Life, XXIII | everything I could not to offend God; for the want of courage

513 Life, XXIII | graces I had received from God were very many, I was still
514 Life, XXIII | beginners in the way of God, was not permitted to understand

525 Life, XXIII | all with great clearness: God would, in virtue of the
526 Life, XXIII | hands—that St. Paul said, God is faithful;346 that He

528 Life, XXIII | soul to that servant of God347 and he was a great servant

530 Life, XXIII | to practise it, because God had bestowed on me such

543 Life, XXIV | though I did not offend God by them: there was much
544 Life, XXIV | so, as I did not offend God, I asked him if I must be
545 Life, XXIV | to lay the matter before God for a few days, and recite
546 Life, XXIV | hymn, "Veni, Creator," that God might enlighten me as to

587 Life, XXVI | unless it be suffered with God, or for God. There is no

615 Life, XXVIII | beginning of any new grace from God, makes me very much afraid.

619 Life, XXVIII | makes me see that He is God and man,—not as He was
620 Life, XXVIII | the majesty and beauty of God, that it is impossible to
621 Life, XXVIII | then it seems to forget God Himself. The soul is itself
622 Life, XXVIII | seems as if a living love of God, of the highest kind, made
623 Life, XXVIII | which I said represented God without any likeness of
624 Life, XXVIII | vision,—we learn how He is God, is mighty, can do all things,
625 Life, XXVIII | when the vision is from God. Satan makes his representations

628 Life, XXVIII | It was a providence of God that he was willing to stand
629 Life, XXVIII | was so great a servant of God, that he would have exposed ./.
630 Life, XXVIII | that if I did not offend God, nor swerve from the instructions
631 Life, XXVIII | had so much to suffer; for God revealed the whole truth
632 Life, XXVIII | Sacrament.~23. Those servants of God who were not satisfied had
633 Life, XXIX | For two years and a half God granted me this grace very
634 Life, XXIX | without fear on the point; God would watch over me, and
635 Life, XXIX | vision did not ./. come from God, it was a fearful thing

638 Life, XXIX | enough that it wishes for God, and that the arrow seems
639 Life, XXIX | explain the way in which God wounds the soul, nor the

643 Life, XXIX | fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great,
644 Life, XXIX | now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily,

646 Life, XXIX | soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make
647 Life, XXX | that widow, the servant of God and my friend, of whom I

653 Life, XXX | that it was the work of God. If I should have any doubts,
654 Life, XXX | not give thanks enough to God, and to my glorious father

659 Life, XXX | so that its knowledge of God becomes to it as that of
660 Life, XXX | love that, when it hears God spoken of, it listens and
661 Life, XXX | neighbours and offensive to God. Then, as to going to our
662 Life, XXX | mean, words offensive to God; yet their words were the
663 Life, XXX | been amiss. I rejoiced in God, and made my complaint to
664 Life, XXX | with any distinctness upon God, or anything that is good,
665 Life, XXX | it will do. Glory be to God, for a wonder, it never
666 Life, XXX | to our Lord: When, O my God, shall I see my whole soul
667 Life, XXX | the Saints rendered unto God. Then it struck me that
668 Life, XXX | have not yet begun to serve God, though He showers down
669 Life, XXX | on some great mercies of God, seeing that its miserable
670 Life, XXX | before,458 in those to whom God grants them. It is like
671 Life, XXX | might help it to praise God.~24. I call to remembrance—
672 Life, XXX | something for the service of God; and I am not able to do
673 Life, XXX | sufficient to do something for God, is no light affliction
674 Life, XXX | and to draw souls unto God. Such a one neither knows
675 Life, XXX | to be powerless to serve God in anything, and at the
676 Life, XXXI | great grief to me to see God offended in such a way.
677 Life, XXXI | him that I would pray to God for his amendment, and get
678 Life, XXXI | opportunity; for our Lord God was pleased, on account
679 Life, XXXI | He asked me to pray to God for him. I recommended him
680 Life, XXXI | use to the true servant of God, who ought to despise these
681 Life, XXXI | understood it to mean that God was watching over me, that
682 Life, XXXI | not out of the grace of God; I have scarcely any fear
683 Life, XXXI | myself into the hands of God. Then I was tormented by
684 Life, XXXI | came wholly and only from God, and if it did not distress
685 Life, XXXI | comforted when I saw that God was working in them,—then
686 Life, XXXI | another extreme. I begged of God, and made it a particular
687 Life, XXXI | soul left in the hands of God cares nothing about evil
688 Life, XXXI | coward; for a soul which God permits to be thus seen
689 Life, XXXI | is a reason for praising God, and also for great sorrow
690 Life, XXXI | matter; they would fly before God gives them wings.~21. I
691 Life, XXXI | outwardly, giving up all for God,—when they see in others,
692 Life, XXXI | my opinion, the gift of God; for it seems to me a supernatural
693 Life, XXXI | sever; only the help of God, obtained by prayer and
694 Life, XXXI | people with wonder. O my God, why is their soul still
695 Life, XXXI | back who does so much for God?~Oh, there it is!—self-respect!
696 Life, XXXI | striving after union with God? and do we wish to follow
697 Life, XXXI | common. Now, however, that God has opened my eyes a little,
698 Life, XXXI | of worth because done for God,—His Majesty helps us
699 Life, XXXI | had been there praising God. I did so till they—I
700 Life, XXXII | Blessed for ever be Thou, O my God! and, oh, how manifest is
701 Life, XXXII | took some pains to please God, and abstained from certain
702 Life, XXXII | offensive in the sight of God; and that I was free from
703 Life, XXXII | constantly in the fear of God,—I had to look at the
704 Life, XXXII | us, then, for the love of God, avoid all occasions of
705 Life, XXXII | that it was the work of God, and that His Majesty had
706 Life, XXXII | think what I could do for God, and thought that the first
707 Life, XXXII | there were many servants of God, and God was greatly served
708 Life, XXXII | many servants of God, and God was greatly served therein,
709 Life, XXXII | however, we could serve God in all honour and observances
710 Life, XXXII | with all earnestness to God.~14. One day, after Communion,
711 Life, XXXII | afflicted, I commended myself to God, and His Majesty began to
712 Life, XXXII | a very great servant of God, of the Order of St. Dominic,477
713 Life, XXXII | have come really from ./. God, yet, if that learned man
714 Life, XXXII | go on without offending God and going against our conscience,
715 Life, XXXII | this.~20. The servant of God told me afterwards that
716 Life, XXXII | greatly for the service of God, and that we must not give
717 Life, XXXII | we must trust somewhat in God. If anyone made any objections,
718 Life, XXXII | that the work might be of God. Our Lord Himself must have
719 Life, XXXII | the priest and servant of God, to ./. whom, as I said
720 Life, XXXII | whole city,—being one whom God maintains there for the
721 Life, XXXIII | sisters; that I could serve God among them as well as elsewhere,
722 Life, XXXIII | silent.~3. In other respects God was most merciful unto me,
723 Life, XXXIII | that was an offence unto God; whether all my visions
724 Life, XXXIII | myself; that I had pleased God greatly, and had not sinned
725 Life, XXXIII | the growth of the love of God in my soul, which I now
726 Life, XXXIII | impetuosities of the love of God of which I have spoken before,482
727 Life, XXXIII | supernatural things. And God, too, brought him here in
728 Life, XXXIII | operations of the Spirit of God alone; for now and then
729 Life, XXXIII | the work of the Spirit of God, because he regarded the
730 Life, XXXIII | consumed for the love of God, and by other affections
731 Life, XXXIII | that the vision came from God.494 It left me in the greatest
732 Life, XXXIII(494)| editions after the word "God," is not in the MS., according
733 Life, XXXIV | commended myself earnestly to God, and during Matins, or the
734 Life, XXXIV | should have troubles, yet God would be served greatly:
735 Life, XXXIV | She had a profound fear of God, and was so good, that her
736 Life, XXXIV | wish to be a great lady. God deliver me from this wicked,
737 Life, XXXIV | to be a great servant of God,—and I rose up in order
738 Life, XXXIV | gave himself wholly unto God. I had this feeling now
739 Life, XXXIV | he were given wholly unto God; and sometimes I feel this
740 Life, XXXIV | long to see everybody serve God, yet my desire about those
741 Life, XXXIV | to pray much for him to God. There was no necessity
742 Life, XXXIV | distance between it and God. That love which I know
743 Life, XXXIV | goodness and compassion of God! How He regards not the
744 Life, XXXIV | whether I was in the grace of God, and that I could never
745 Life, XXXIV | that I had sinned against God. I was in great straits
746 Life, XXXIV | grace, because a love of God like mine, together with
747 Life, XXXIV | believe I made a promise to God I would not neglect that
748 Life, XXXIV | that it was a message from God, for that religious resolved
749 Life, XXXIV | And so he did—blessed be God!—for every time that he
750 Life, XXXIV | and filled him so full of God, that he seemed to be alive
751 Life, XXXIV | distinguished servants of God, to the great profit of
752 Life, XXXIV | things: that is a gift of God, which He gives when He
753 Life, XXXIV | considering the greatness of God, who had raised that soul
754 Life, XXXIV | risk a thousand lives for God, and who long for an opportunity
755 Life, XXXIV | greatly to the honour of God, and underwent more persecutions.
756 Life, XXXIV | know that I lie not. May God never permit me, in any
757 Life, XXXIV | fulfilment of the prophecy. God be praised for ever, who
758 Life, XXXV | makes people richer, and God never fails those who serve
759 Life, XXXV | but not so this servant of God.~4. As I took the advice
760 Life, XXXV | commending the matter to God, our Lord told me that I
761 Life, XXXV | have no doubt it came from God. On another occasion, He
762 Life, XXXV | poverty for the love of God.~8. At this time, my Provincial
763 Life, XXXV | any kind of martyrdom for God, I could not persuade myself
764 Life, XXXV | danger; and so I praised God that I was not then in my
765 Life, XXXV | trouble. All my service of God there was lip-service: why
766 Life, XXXV | had already told me to go, God having moved him as He had
767 Life, XXXV | was a person who feared God exceedingly,—and as I
768 Life, XXXV | and for the service of God. So the pleasure I had in
769 Life, XXXV | pleasure I had in pleasing God took away the pain of quitting
770 Life, XXXV | settled if I had waited. Oh, God is great! I am often lost
771 Life, XXXV | establishment of this little cell of God,—for such I believe it
772 Life, XXXV(525) | must obtain his life from God. The Saint took the body,
773 Life, XXXV(525) | her veil, she prayed to God, and God gave the child
774 Life, XXXV(525) | she prayed to God, and God gave the child his life
775 Life, XXXV | He who loves Thee, O my God, travels safely by the open
776 Life, XXXV | to advance in the way of God! Let us fix our eyes upon
777 Life, XXXVI | the great servant of God, in whose house the holy
778 Life, XXXVI | receiving the servants of God in his house. These two
779 Life, XXXVI | —and great servants of God, established in the house.
780 Life, XXXVI | been appointed.~8. O my God, how wretched is this life!
781 Life, XXXVI | them in order to please God, it would serve me for purgatory.
782 Life, XXXVI | thus, without offending God, made me suffer together
783 Life, XXXVI | would end. Those servants of God who were in it were left
784 Life, XXXVI | altogether. I betook myself to God, and said, "O Lord, this
785 Life, XXXVI | A very great servant of God, and a lover of all perfection,
786 Life, XXXVI | monastery. This servant of God was he who gave the habit
787 Life, XXXVI | personage—a great servant of God, and with good intentions—
788 Life, XXXVI | felt it to be a work of God, since His Majesty had been
789 Life, XXXVI | advance in the service of God. Solitude is their delight;
790 Life, XXXVI | Their conversation is of God only; and so he whose conversation
791 Life, XXXVI | reverence, for the love of God, should you think fit to
792 Life, XXXVI | come here both to serve God and to labour, that what
793 Life, XXXVI | be heavily chastised of God, who shall be the first
794 Life, XXXVII | that, in those graces which God bestows on the soul, there
795 Life, XXXVII | joy and consolation which God gives in a vision or a trance
796 Life, XXXVII | contemplation of the greatness of God; for I know that he who
797 Life, XXXVII | no intention of offending God: however, I was pleased
798 Life, XXXVII | only the representatives of God, I thought my will was always
799 Life, XXXVII | other hand, servants of God, and fearing Him, were afraid
800 Life, XXXVII | saw that, though He was God, He was man also; that He
801 Life, XXXVII | it is past. If it be from God, the fruits thereof show
802 Life, XXXVII | confess my obligations to God, or remember His mercies;
803 Life, XXXVII | how mean a soul can be if God is not always working in
804 Life, XXXVII | The soul sees clearly that God is not away from it in this
805 Life, XXXVII | the fire of the love of God burn: it is a great mercy
806 Life, XXXVII | unto Him: How is it, O my God, that it is not enough for
807 Life, XXXVII | any time in the service of God. I bless myself at the sight
808 Life, XXXVII | negligence; and even then, God grant they may believe you.~
809 Life, XXXVII | all its thoughts always on God, and that it is necessary
810 Life, XXXVII | man be careful to please God continually, and to hate
811 Life, XXXVII | speaking of the greatness of God I am come to speak of the
812 Life, XXXVII | follies with so much labour. God grant that in the next life,
813 Life, XXXVIII | independent of our efforts; God effects it all Himself;
814 Life, XXXVIII | thing for one who serves God, because the soul is in
815 Life, XXXVIII | made; for they who love God in truth, and are utterly
816 Life, XXXVIII | frequently, the mercy of God reassures me, for He who
817 Life, XXXVIII | that by the goodness of God, so far as I could understand,
818 Life, XXXVIII | Ghost was with me. I praised God for it; and calling to mind
819 Life, XXXVIII | me in hell, and praised God exceedingly, because it
820 Life, XXXVIII | progress in the highest love of God, together with a great increase
821 Life, XXXVIII | he was to draw souls unto God.~15. At another time I saw
822 Life, XXXVIII | could not hinder. At last God gave him the reward of the
823 Life, XXXVIII | to me, in the presence of God. My amazement was such that
824 Life, XXXVIII | the Majesty of the Son of God, though not so distinctly
825 Life, XXXVIII | though now—glory be to God!—I had no desire after
826 Life, XXXVIII | sense of the presence of God such as I cannot in any
827 Life, XXXVIII | life with so little fear of God, when she draws near to
828 Life, XXXVIII | if the vision was from God, that His Majesty would
829 Life, XXXVIII | of consecration, and how God failed not to be present,
830 Life, XXXVIII | understand what I owe to God. May He be blessed for evermore!~
831 Life, XXXVIII | think of the goodness of God, who would not allow that
832 Life, XXXVIII | wretched body. Would to God that all who live in mortal
833 Life, XXXVIII | know more of what I owe to God, and of the evils from which
834 Life, XXXVIII | who was a great servant of God, died in this house. On
835 Life, XXXVIII | She was a great servant of God, attentive in choir, and
836 Life, XXXVIII | was commending his soul to God, and hearing the Mass which
837 Life, XXXIX | act highly offensive to God and dishonourable to himself.
838 Life, XXXIX | could be done. I implored God, from the bottom of my heart,
839 Life, XXXIX | men, and great servants of God.~5. I knew of a person who
840 Life, XXXIX | who had resolved to serve God in all earnestness, and
841 Life, XXXIX | nothing else but pray to God for his conversion. One
842 Life, XXXIX | contrition, and returned to God so sincerely, that I trust
843 Life, XXXIX | it is for those to whom God has granted a true insight
844 Life, XXXIX | revelation.~12. But, O my God, how is it that we too often
845 Life, XXXIX | come to this monastery,—God touches their hearts, and
846 Life, XXXIX | themselves wholly in sacrifice to God.~15. Oh, how willingly do
847 Life, XXXIX | ashamed of ./. myself before God! What His Majesty has not
848 Life, XXXIX | who, because of the graces God has given them, are flying
849 Life, XXXIX | themselves in the hands of God, for the truth, which they
850 Life, XXXIX | detached and more near to God these souls must be than
851 Life, XXXIX | all things only to please God, if they were not accompanied
852 Life, XXXIX | resolution to do anything for God, with the exception of some
853 Life, XXXIX | merited the protection of God, which keeps him from committing
854 Life, XXXIX | must also, as they say, sue God for His own money?~22. This
855 Life, XXXIX | progress in time, or that God will not reward it, if its
856 Life, XXXIX | ducats. For the love of God, let us leave these questions
857 Life, XXXIX | the knowledge of which God has reserved to Himself?
858 Life, XXXIX | nor what to do.~27. O my God, if I were to say in what
859 Life, XXXIX | to heaven, and cry unto God.596 I recollected well what
860 Life, XXXIX | can be relied on except God. In all my great trials,
861 Life, XXXIX | out of the true love of God; for though I might long
862 Life, XXXIX | these visions came from God or not, our Lord appeared,
863 Life, XXXIX | I must not imagine that God would ever allow the devil
864 Life, XXXIX | me the visions were from God, I should do wrong if I
865 Life, XXXIX | understand the mystery of One God and Three Persons with so
866 Life, XXXIX | greatness and marvels of God; and when I think of the
867 Life, XL | filled with, that grandeur of God which, on another occasion,
868 Life, XL | not tend to the service of God as vanity and lies. I cannot
869 Life, XL | with a new reverence for God; it gives me a notion of
870 Life, XL | not lead us nearer unto God. I also understood what
871 Life, XL | ways. How is this, O my God? how can it be that mercies
872 Life, XL | of where we are to seek God. The glorious St. Augustin,607
873 Life, XL | how all things are seen in God and how all things are comprehended
874 Life, XL | are not secret, and that God most justly resents them,
875 Life, XL | we have committed! O my God, I have been, oh, how blind!
876 Life, XL | angels, and was close unto God. I began to intercede with
877 Life, XL | asked by a person to pray God to let him know whether
878 Life, XL | would be for the service of God. After Communion our Lord
879 Life, XL | be very great servants of God.613 Our Lord said to me: "
880 Life, XL | I most heartily pray to God for. I say to Him sometimes,
881 Life, XL | nearer to the vision of God, in that another hour of
882 Life, XL | 29. Now, however,—to God be the glory!—though many
883 Life, XL | you, my father, pray to God that He would take me to
884 Rel, I(622) | § 22, 28. ~"1. The end God has in view is the drawing
885 Rel, I(622) | the withdrawing it from God. Our Lord never does anything
886 Rel, I(622) | be made to draw near unto God. All the visions and the
887 Rel, I(622) | person draw her nearer unto God, and make her more humble
888 Rel, I(622) | for is to do the will of God our Lord in all things.~"
889 Rel, I(622) | desires of being pleasing unto God, and of trampling on every
890 Rel, I(622) | whatever she shall ask of God, being good, she shall have.
891 Rel, I(622) | these operations are from God, they are always directed
892 Rel, I(622) | when she is absorbed in God, on fire with His love,
893 Rel, I(622) | commonly receives, her sense of God, her languishing with love,
894 Rel, I(622) | a trance when she hears God spoken of with devotion
895 Rel, I(622) | and all the servants of God upon earth, tell her that
896 Rel, I(622) | that it is any other than God who is working in her and
897 Rel, I(622) | and speaking to her.~"29. God has given her a most wonderfully
898 Rel, I(622) | continually reminding herself of God, and has a sense of His
899 Rel, I(622) | illumination in the things of God.~"33. It was said to her
900 Rel, I(622) | soul desirous of pleasing God had been so long deceived."~
901 Rel, I | thinking of the things of God, but engaged in other matters,
902 Rel, I | fainting away of the soul for God, so that I have no control
903 Rel, I | me cry out and call upon God; and this comes upon me
904 Rel, I | comes from the vision of God, which comes by death, and
905 Rel, I | certain desires to serve God, with a vehemence so great
906 Rel, I | how great the good is that God will give us if we prepare
907 Rel, I | through its inability to serve God and my state624 in anything;
908 Rel, I | power whatever to serve God, I feel this pain in a way
909 Rel, I | and the consolation of God.~5. Again, it has happened,
910 Rel, I | submit ./. that I may serve God, and thus I offer up those
911 Rel, I | resolution never to offend God, not even venially. I would
912 Rel, I | face to ask anything of God our Lord, or to make my
913 Rel, I | loving and serving and seeing God, are not helped by any reflections,
914 Rel, I | excessive that, I repeat it, if God did not relieve them by
915 Rel, I | and drive me to pray to God and the saints to make them
916 Rel, I | but because I believe that God helps those who, for His
917 Rel, I | leave it all in the hands of God.630~17. This leaving in
918 Rel, I | leaving in the hands of God the supply of all I need
919 Rel, I | Vainglory631—glory, be to God!—so far as I know, there
920 Rel, I | that in these things which God sends me I have no part
921 Rel, I | myself; on the contrary, God makes me conscious of my
922 Rel, I | receive graces, and that God must give to others at once
923 Rel, I | life; and so I believe that God has led me along this way
924 Rel, I | even if I tried, pray to God for rest, or desire it;
925 Rel, I | that they have offended God; and if I dwell upon this
926 Rel, I | everybody is as anxious to serve God as I am. And herein God
927 Rel, I | God as I am. And herein God has been very gracious unto
928 Rel, I | constant dwelling in thought on God, is the ordinary state of
929 Rel, I | and such—glory be to God!—only at intervals demand
930 Rel, I | cannot think at all about God, neither do I know under
931 Rel, I | these impressions, only God has been so gracious unto
932 Rel, I | believe that it comes from God; for when I see what I once
933 Rel, I | the means of drawing me to God in His service, but of saving
934 Rel, I | Nor can I believe it of God, though I have deserved
935 Rel, I | fear that they are not from God, I being so wicked myself.
936 Rel, I | and my thoughts fixed on God, if all the learned and
937 Rel, I | and believed it was from God.637~29. However, I can think
938 Rel, I | believe this to be from God, I would never do anything,
939 Rel, II | since this was written; God has all this time protected
940 Rel, II | do it.~2. As to poverty, God seems to have wrought great
941 Rel, II | faith, that I do not think God will ever fail those who
942 Rel, II | and betake myself unto God.~3. I think I am much more
943 Rel, II | this I now see is a gift of God; for though I used to give
944 Rel, II | it that I might offer to God, as I learn by experience
945 Rel, II | nothing when I awake.~5. God is giving me more earnest
946 Rel, II | render the least service unto God; and thus on every side
947 Rel, II | the graces received from God, I find myself very much
948 Rel, II | not a penitential, life; God help me, as He can!~7. It
949 Rel, II | back on the graces which God has given me; I think I
950 Rel, II | endowed with such might that, God never failing me, I think
951 Rel, II | contradictions of these months,641 God gave me great courage; and
952 Rel, II | more so than usual, that God may find those who will
953 Rel, II | I do nothing but pray to God for such men, because I
954 Rel, II | true fervour of the love of God, will do more good than
955 Rel, II | clearly it was the pleasure of God that such progress should
956 Rel, II | place myself in the hands of God, and trust my desires; for
957 Rel, II | greatest oblation I make to God, as the highest service
958 Rel, II | understand of the grandeurs of God, and of the way He has shown
959 Rel, II | become recollected.~18. God so keeps me from offending
960 Rel, II | that the great power of God might be made manifest.
961 Rel, II | calm now, though, while God is leading me by this way,
962 Rel, III | dulness could understand, how God is Three and One; and thus
963 Rel, III | of the surpassing love of God for us, in that He forgives
964 Rel, III | Three Persons are but One God. To-day, while thinking
965 Rel, III | it might be the will of God I should ./. do so too.
966 Rel, III | Mount Carmel, praying to God for one of my brothers,
967 Rel, III | Salve, I saw the Mother of God descend with a multitude
968 Rel, III | is Thy Creator, King, and God, but as thine, My veritable
969 Rel, III | desert, as they were led by God, so also did they undergo
970 Rel, IV | is to be living away from God. As I was then suffering,
971 Rel, IV | because I am away from God; and during those days it
972 Rel, V | little sinner? Am I not thy God? Dost thou not see how ill
973 Rel, V | swerve from the will of God, being a spirit and a will

976 Rel, V | with the will and Spirit of God, that it is not possible
977 Rel, V | knowledge is a special grace of God, because nobody can tell
978 Rel, V | when I was utterly lost, God, through their prayers,

980 Rel, V | once to this: that I see God is almighty, that He has
981 Rel, V | that it was the work of God: having this, I ventured
982 Rel, V | has a sense of fear when God is about to bestow any great
983 Rel, V | be by it recommended to God; that an angel suggests
984 Rel, VI | Jerome of the Mother of God Gratian happened to come
985 Rel, VI | that this was the work of God, though I remembered with
986 Rel, VI | myself out in the praises of God.~3. It must have been about
987 Rel, VI | something I could do for God, I was not doing it; it
988 Rel, VI | would be for the service of God or not: and my natural self—
989 Rel, VI | me contrary to the law of God and the commands of superiors
990 Rel, VI | regard him as in the place of God, outwardly and inwardly.

998 Rel, VII | that these things came from God, she never so thoroughly
999 Rel, VII | that these things came from God, for she was instantly afraid
