I am
_capable of Thee_."[75] "I love my life exceedingly because Thou art
the sweetness of my life."[76] "No man can turn to Thee except Thou be
present, for except Thou wert present and diddest solicit me I should
not know Thee at all."[77] "Restless is my heart, O Lord, because Thy
love hath enflamed it with such a desire that it cannot rest but in
Thee alone."[78] "In the Son of Man I see the Son of God, because Thou
art so the Son of Man that Thou art the Son of God and in the finite
attracted nature I see the Infinite Attracting Nature." "I see all
things in thy human nature which I see in thy divine nature."[79] "To
come to God is Paradise; to see God is to be in Paradise."[80] "The
Word of God illuminateth the understanding as the light of the sun doth
the world. I see the fountain of Light in the Word of God. . . .
Christ is the Word of God humanified and man deified."[81] "What is
more easie than to believe God, what is more sweet than to love

Jesus for a Master, the Way of Life, and Truth, so that there might be
nothing at all wanting to me."[82]

similar to those which {262} Randall held and are in full accord with
those which prevailed in this general group of Christian thinkers. The
writer of the treatise, whoever he was, is fond of allegory and
symbolic interpretation. He turns Adam into a figure and makes the
Garden of Eden an allegory in quite modern fashion. "Doe you thinke,"
he writes, "that there was a materiall garden or a tree whereon did
grow the fruit of good and evill, or that the serpent did goe up in the
same to speake to the woman? Sure it cannot stand with reason that it
could be so, for it is said that all the creatures did come to Adam,
and he gave them names according to their natures: now it is contrary
to the Serpent's nature to speake after the manner of men, unlesse you
will alleadge that she understood the language of the
