So That Every Man Lawfully Ordained Must

Man Doth Seek A Triple Perfection: First A Sensual, Consisting In Those Things Which Very Life Itself Requireth Either As Necessary Supplements, Or As Beauties And Ornaments Thereof; Then An Intellectual, Consisting In Those Things Which None Underneath Man Is Either Capable Of Or Acquainted With; Lastly A Spiritual And Divine, Consisting In Those Things Whereunto We Tend By Supernatural Means Here, But Cannot Here Attain Unto Them.

Whatsoever Is Good; The Same Is Also Approved Of God.

God Is No Captious Sophister, Eager To Trip Us Up Whenever We Say Amiss, But A Courteous Tutor, Ready To Amend What, In Our Weakness Or Our Ignorance, We Say Ill, And To Make The Most Of What We Say Aright.

Of Two Evils We Take The Less.

Think Of Your Child, Then, Not As Dead, But As Living; Not As A Flower That Has Withered, But As One That Is Transplanted, And Touched By A Divine Hand, Is Blooming In Richer Colors And Sweeter Shades Than Those Of Earth.
