S. AUGUST. in Psal. 128.
What wings should I desire but the two precepts of love, on which the Law and the Prophets depend! O if I could obtain these wings I could fly from thy sace to thy face, from the sace of thy Justice to the face of thy Mercy: Let us find those wings by love which we have lost by lust.
S. AUGUST. in Psal. 76.
Let us cast off whatsoever hindereth, entangleth, or bur∣deneth our flight untill we attain that which satisfieth; beyond which nothing is; beneath which, all things are; of which, all things are.
