THIRDLY, WHAT AFFECTIONS the heart is to be imployed in.

YEs, o my God, yes I am resolved to love you a thousand times better then my self; I am resolved to be all yours, as you are wholly mine: I have horrour of whatsoever is displeasing to you, I desire nothing more then to express my love to you, & to that end, I desire to imitate you this day, in what I have learnt in this medtation: I conjure you, my Jesus, to put me in mind of these les∣sons, when any occasion of practice offers it self.

Resolutions for the time to come.
