And indeed they are sometimes frustrated of their hopes; but my promise deceives no man, nor sends away empty him that trusts in me.
What I have promised, I will give; what I have said, I will make good; provided a man continue to the end faithful in my love.
I am the rewarder of all the good, and the strong trier of all the devout.
5. Write my words in thy heart, and think diligently on them; for they will be very necessary in the time of temptation.
What thou understandest not when thou readest, thou shalt know in the day of visitation.
I am accustomed to visit my elect [in] two manner of ways, viz. by trial and by comfort.
And I read them daily two lessons; one to rebuke their vices, the other to exhort them to the increase of virtues.
He that has my words, and slights them, has that which shall condemn him at the last day.
A Prayer,
To implore the Grace of Devotion.
