 1 1 |          flee, for a little while, your occupations; hide yourself,
 2 1 |         yourself, for a time, from your disturbing thoughts. Cast
 3 1 |         thoughts. Cast aside, now, your burdensome cares, and put
 4 1 |     burdensome cares, and put away your toilsome business. Yield
 5 1 |         Enter the inner chamber of your mind; shut out all thoughts
 6 1 |          you in seeking him; close your door and seek him. Speak
 7 1 |         now to God, saying, I seek your face; your face, Lord, will
 8 1 |          saying, I seek your face; your face, Lord, will I seek (
 9 1 |        Lord, my God; I do not know your form. What, O most high
10 1 |           far from you? What shall your servant do, anxious in his
11 1 |             and cast out afar from your face? He pants to see you,
12 1 |           He pants to see you, and your face is too far from him.
13 1 |          longs to come to you, and your dwelling-place is inaccessible.
14 1 |            find you, and knows not your place. He desires to seek
15 1 |        seek you, and does not know your face. Lord, you are my God,
16 1 |           us; how long do you turn your face from us? When will
17 1 |    enlighten our eyes, and show us your face? When will you restore
18 1 |            it, I beseech you, with your consolation. Lord, in hunger
19 1 |           Be it mine to look up to your light, even from afar, even
20 1 |         you has created me in this your image, in order that I may
21 1 |     endeavor, O Lord, to penetrate your sublimity, for in no wise
22 1 |          understand in some degree your truth, which my heart believes
23 4 |        what I formerly believed by your bounty, I now so understand
24 4 |             I now so understand by your illumination, that if I
25 8 |          you do not feel sympathy, your heart is not wretched from
26 8 |          compassionate in terms of your being.~Truly, you are so
27 8 |         you are not so in terms of your own. For, when you behold
28 9 |        that is not just? Or, since your goodness is incomprehensible,
29 9 |           and most secret parts of your goodness is hidden the fountain
30 9 |      fountain whence the stream of your compassion flows.~For you
31 9 |           toward you.~The depth of your goodness, O God! The source
32 9 |     goodness, O God! The source of your compassion appears, and
33 9 |           is from the abundance of your goodness that you are good
34 9 |           you; and in the depth of your goodness is hidden the reason
35 9 |            me, which proceeds from your so great abundance! Let
36 9 |          is hard to understand how your compassion is not inconsistent
37 9 |           is not inconsistent with your justice; yet we must believe
38 9 |            you are just. Is, then, your compassion born of your
39 9 |            your compassion born of your justice? And do you spare
40 10|      because it is compatible with your goodness.~For, in sparing
41 10|          are as just, according to your nature, but not according
42 11|            also just, according to your nature, O Lord, that you
43 11|      therefore, just, according to your nature, O just and gracious
44 11|         you do not will. So, then, your compassion is born of your
45 11|         your compassion is born of your justice.~For it is just
46 14|         For, if you have not found your God, how is he this being
47 14|         all of you, except through your light and your truth?~Hence,
48 14|      except through your light and your truth?~Hence, if it has
49 14|           infirmity, or dazzled by your glory? Surely it is both
50 14| insignificance, and overwhelmed by your infinity. Truly, it is both
51 14|         narrowness and overcome by your greatness.~For how great
52 17|            O Lord, from my soul in your light and your blessedness;
53 17|          my soul in your light and your blessedness; and therefore
54 17|            looks, and does not see your beauty. It hearkens, and
55 17|        hearkens, and does not hear your harmony. It smells, and
56 17|      smells, and does not perceive your fragrance. It tastes, and
57 17|             and does not recognize your sweetness. It touches, and
58 17|         touches, and does not feel your pleasantness. For you have
59 17|          yourself, Lord God, after your ineffable manner, who hast
60 18|           seek.~Do you help me for your goodness' sake! Lord, I
61 18|     goodness' sake! Lord, I sought your face; your face, Lord, will
62 18|          Lord, I sought your face; your face, Lord, will I seek;
63 18|        Lord, will I seek; hide not your face far from me (Psalms

65 18|          never a part of you or of your eternity. But everywhere
66 18|            you are as a whole, and your eternity exists as a whole
67 19|            in him. ~BUT if through your eternity you have been,
68 19|           destined to be; how does your eternity exist as a whole
69 19|            it true that nothing of your eternity passes away, so
70 20|          even the eternal, because your eternity and theirs is present
71 21|            all temporal things, so your eternity contains even the
72 23|            God the Father; this is your Word, that is, your Son.
73 23|        this is your Word, that is, your Son. For nothing, other
74 23|          love common to you and to your Son, that is, the Holy Spirit
75 23|           not unequal to you or to your Son; seeing that you do
76 23|             to the whole extent of your being and his. Nor is there
77 24|             arouse and lift up all your understanding, and conceive,
78 25|      wander abroad, slight man, in your search for the goods of
79 25|            search for the goods of your soul and your body? Love
80 25|         the goods of your soul and your body? Love the one good
81 25|      satisfied with the fatness of your house (Psalms xxxvi. 8).
