AS in the heating of an Oven, the Fewel is set on fire, yet not without some pains to blow it up into a flame;* 1.1 but afterwards when the Oven begins to be somewhat hot, the Fewel will catch and kindle of it self; and no sooner is it
thrown in,* 1.2 but it is all in a blaze on a sodain. Such is the difficu•••••• of Medita∣tion at the first, When there is but (as it were) a little spark of Love in the heart, it will cost a Man some pains to blow it up into a Flame; but afterwards when the heart is once heated with those flames of Love, then it will enflame all the thoughts, and set the affections on fire, In so much, that the duty of Meditation will not be onely easie and delightfull, but so necessary, that a Man cannot tell how to avoid it.
