§. 101.

I will recommend to you the reading, on this subject, of the fourth, eighth, and thirteenth Chapters of St. Teresa's Life: And the 25, 26.28. and 29. Chap of her Way of Perfection; who was a head Scholar in this School of Prayer; and saw frequent experience of the effect of these directions, when well observed, having taught many others this hea∣venly art; who also, by practising the same lessons failed not to attain it. Howbeit, were these practises, as to such extraordinary communications of God's Spirit, profitless, yet can they not in themselves be any way not very commenda∣ble; unless to love God, or neglect the world extraordinarily be a fault.
