Christian Literature

"He may wel be loved, bot not thought. By love may He be getyn and holden; bot bi thought neither."

"Bete evermore on this cloude of unknowyng that is bitwix thee and thi God with a scharpe darte of longing love."

"For when I sey derknes, I mene a lackyng of knowyng; as alle that thing that thou knowest not, or elles that thou hast forgetyn, it is derk to thee, for thou seest it not with thi goostly ighe. And for this skile it is not clepid a cloude of the eire, bot a cloude of unknowyng, that is bitwix thee and thi God."

"For not what thou arte, ne what thou hast ben, beholdeth God with his merciful ighe; bot that that thou woldest be."

"Schort preier peersith heven."
