 4 1  |         you are my Lord, and never have I seen you. It is you that
 5 1  |            to see you, and not yet have I done that for which I
 6 1  |       Wretches that we are, whence have we been driven out; whither
 7 1  |         far removed from God! What have I undertaken? What have
 8 1  |            have I undertaken? What have I accomplished? Whither
 9 1  |            was I striving? How far have I come? To what did I aspire?
10 1  |        hunger for you. In hunger I have come to you; let me not
11 1  |             let me not go unfed. I have come in poverty to the Rich,

15 7  |          then, when one is said to have the power of doing or experiencing
16 14 |        soul? You did seek God. You have found him to be a being
17 14 |            and always.~For, if you have not found your God, how
18 14 |            he this being which you have found, and which you have
19 14 |          have found, and which you have conceived him to be, with
20 14 |        true certainty? But, if you have found him, why is it that
21 14 |           that you do not feel you have found him? Why, O Lord,
22 16 |           you I move, and in you I have my being; and I cannot come
23 17 |         your pleasantness. For you have these attributes in yourself,
24 17 |           sinful senses of my soul have grown rigid and dull, and
25 17 |          grown rigid and dull, and have been obstructed by their

28 18 |          then, it appears that you have no parts, and that your
29 19 |          through your eternity you have been, and are, and will
30 19 |           are, and will be; and to have been is not to be destined
31 19 |            be; and to be is not to have been, or to be destined
32 19 |           and to-day and to-morrow have no existence, except in
33 20 |            him; while other things have not yet that part of their
34 20 |          which is still to be, and have no longer that part which
35 20 |            those beings which will have no end? Is it because they
36 20 |           they can be conceived to have an end; but you by no means?
37 20 |        means? For so they actually have an end, in a certain sense;
38 20 |         whole with you; while they have not yet that part of their
39 20 |             just as they no longer have that part which is past?
40 20 |           since that to which they have not yet come is ever present
41 22 |       properly and simply; for you have neither a past existence
42 24 |          goods; and not such as we have experienced in created objects,
43 25 |            concord, they shall all have a single will.~If power,
44 25 |         will.~If power, they shall have all power to fulfil their
45 25 |       fulfil his. For, as God will have power to do what he wills,
46 25 |      through himself, so they will have power, through him, to do
