[ 1178] The Souls restlesnesse till it be united unto Christ.
A Virgin being espoused to one that is shipt for the East-Indies, or some
such long-winded Voyage, if she do indeed faithfully and unfeignedly af∣fect
him, though she joy to read a letter, or to see some token from him, yet it is
nothing in that kind that can give her contentment, Nil mihi rescribas, nothing
will serve her turn but his presence; O how she hearkens after the Ships for his
return, and joyes to think of that day, wherein they shall be so fast knit toge∣ther,
that nothing shall separate them but Death: Thus the Christian Soul con∣tracted
to Christ, may receive many favours and love-tokens from him, such as
are all the blessings she enjoyeth, whether spiritual or temporal, yet they can∣not
all of them give any true contentment, but help rather to enflame her a••••ection
towards him, and make her, if she sincerely love him, as she profess••th and
pretendeth to do, the more earnestly and ardently to long for that day, wherein
she shall be inseparably linked unto him, and everlastingly enjoy his personal pre∣sence,
which above all things she most earnestly desireth.
