If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments (Matt. xix, 17).
Son, now thou knowest these things, and hast read them all, happy shalt thou be if thou fulfil them. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and I will love him, and I will manifest myself unto him (John xiv, 21), and I will make him sit with me in the kingdom of my Father (Apoc. iii, 21).
Lord Jesus, as Thou hast said and hast promised, so may it be indeed; and may it be my lot to merit it.
-Bk. III, ch. 1vi.
