CONSIDER with whom it is that Ie∣sus doth willingly walke in the waye of this our pilgrimage; with whom he doth comfortably discourse, and you shall fin∣de, by the example of the two Disciples goeing to Emmaus, that it is with such as seriously conferre together, or meditate vpon those deare passages of the life and death of our sweete Sauiour. According to that of the Psalmist, in my Meditation the fire begins to burne vp.
[Affection.] Let vs. then, my soule, euer hence-forth, make it our chiefe businesse, to meditate vpon the Passion of our sweete Sauiour, let vs willingly conferre with others vpon the same subiect, and God will infallibly make good what he hath promised by S. Matthew: where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am in the middest of them. He will walke with vs, he will speake to our hartes, and replenish them with his heauenly blessings. And we shall confesse with the Disciples, that after Meditation of him, and therby, commu∣nication with him, our hartes began to burne.
