THE Cross . . . being minded, which is Pure and Eternal, it makes a Separation from all other Lovers (and brings to God) and the ground of evil Thoughts comes to be opened, . . . which Cross overturns the World in the Heart. Which Cross must be taken up by all, who follow Jesus Christ, out of the World, which hath an End, into the World which is without End; and all the evil things of the World must be denied: . . . where the World is standing, the Cross is not lived in. . . .
But dwelling in the Cross to the World, here the Love of God is shed abroad in the Heart . . . and the Way is opened into the Inheritance, which fades not away; where nothing shall enter, which is defiled. For God is not seen but in the Eternal Light, from whence all pure Wisdom comes. This Treasure is not seen, but with the Spiritual Eye; nor received, but with the Pure in Heart and by those who dwell and abide in the Eternal Light.
