An influential Church of England mystic and teacher, whose writings are still in print.
Quote:
Sometimes the light of God's countenance shines so bright upon us, we see so far into
the invisible world, we are so affected with the wonders of the love and goodness of God,
that our hearts worship and adore in a language higher than that of words, and we feel
transports of devotion, which only can be felt.
On the other hand, sometimes we are so sunk into our bodies, so dull and unaffected
with that which concerns our souls, that our hearts are as much too low for our prayers; we
cannot keep pace with our forms of confession, or feel half of that in our hearts which we
have in our mouths; we thank and praise God with forms of words, but our hearts have little
or no share in them.
