Indeed thou art worthy of all service, of all honour, and of eternal praise.
Thou art truly my Lord, and I am thy poor servant, who am bound with all my strength to serve thee, and ought never to grow weary of praising thee.
This is my will, this is my desire; and whatever is wanting to me, do thou vouchsafe to supply.
5. It is a great honour, a great glory to serve thee, and to despise all things for thee;
For they who willingly subject themselves to thy most holy service shall have a great grace;
They shall find the most sweet consolation of the Holy Ghost, who for the love of thee have cast away all carnal delight:
They shall gain great freedom of mind, who for thy name enter upon the narrow way, and neglect all worldly care.
6. Oh pleasant and delightful service of God, which makes a man truly free and holy!
O sacred state of religious bondage, which makes man equal to angels, pleasing to God, terrible to the devils, and commendable to all the faithful!
