O how do Your affections extend like the sunbeams unto all stars in heaven and to all the kingdoms in the world. Yours at once enlighten both hemispheres; quicken us with life, enable us to digest the nourishment of our Souls, cause us to see the greatness of our nature, the Love of God, and the joys of heaven; melt us into tears, comfort, and enflame us, and do all in a celestial manner; that the Sun can do in a terrene and earthly. O let me so long eye You, till I be turned into You, and look upon me till You are formed in me, that I may be a mirror of your brightness, a habitation of Your love, and a temple of your glory. That all your Saints might live in me, and I in them; enjoying all their felicities, joys, and treasures.
