rable_. The second
_Inseparable_. The third is, _Singular_. Thy love is Insuperable, when
nothing that is contrary to GOD'S love overcomes it: but it is stalwart
against all temptations; and stable, whether thou beest in ease or in
anguish, or in health or in sickness: so that men think that thou
wouldest not, even to have all the world without end, make GOD angry at
any time: and thou wert liefer, if so it should be, to suffer all the
pain and woe that might come to any creature, before thou wouldst do the
thing that should displease Him. In this manner shall thy love be
Insuperable that nothing can bring it down, but it may aye spring on
high. Blessed is he or she who is in this degree: but yet are they
blesseder who might hold to this degree and turn to the other, that is
to _Inseparable_. _Inseparable_ is thy love, when all thine heart, and
thy thought, and thy might is so wholly, so entirely and so perfectly
fastened, set and established in JESUS Christ, that thy thought comes
never from Him, never departs from Him, sleeping excepted: and as soon
as thou awakest, thine heart is on Him, saying _Ave Maria_, or _Gloria
Tibi, Domine_, or _Pater Noster_, or _Miserere mei, DEUS_, if thou hast
been tempted in thy sleep; or thinking on His love and His praise as
thou didst waking. When thou canst at no time forget Him, waking or
sleeping, whatso thou dost or sayst, then is thy love _Inseparable_.
Full great grace have they that be in this degree of love. And methinks

thereunto if any may get it.

The third degree is highest and most wondrous to win. That is called
_Singular_, for it has no peer. _Singular_ love is when all comfort and
solace is closed out of thine heart, but of JESUS Christ alone. Other
joy it delights not in. For the sweetness of Him in this degree is so
comforting, and lasting in His love, so burning and gladdening, that he
or she who is in this degree can as well feel the fire of love burning
in their soul, as thou canst feel thy finger burn if thou puttest it in
the fire. But that fire, if it be hot, is so delectable and so
wonderful, that I cannot tell it. Then, thy soul is loving JESUS,
thinking of JESUS, desiring JESUS; in covetousness of Him breathing; to
Him singing: of Him burning; in Him resting. Then the song of praise and
of love has come. Then, thy thought turns into song and into melody.
Then it behoves thee to sing the p
