O

I JOHN iv. Iô.

εν τω Θεω μενει και ο Θεος εν αυτώ.

Mnia mî Deus eft; idem Deus eft meus omnis;
Ipfe Deo totus; totus et ipfe Dei.

Omnia mihi Deus eft.

In Deo cujufque boni creati

Singulæ vires penitiffime infunt,

In Deo folaminaque implicantur

Omnia vitæ.

Omnis Deus eft meus.

Omne quod fecit mihi dat benignus ;
Omne quod præ fe quia nil pependi,

Infuper menti dedit appetenti

Omne quod ipfe est.

Ipfe in Deo totus.

In Deo verfor medio, que fpiro,
In Deo grandefcere concupifco,
Luceo totus radiis paternâ

Luce receptis.

Ipfe totus Dei.

Non meî, non alterius creati

Sum, (Deus) fed quantus ego, tuus fum:

Vita quos â te radios recepi,

Oro reflectat!

Cuneta te fubter (Deus alme) quæ funt,
Judico mente inferiora noftrâ :

Abfit ut rebus ftudeat caducis

Mens generofa!

Fac teipfum, mi Deus, ipforem
Huic meæ menti penitus feipsâ,
Fac meipfum, mi Deus, uniorem,

Quam mihi tecum!

GOD

He gave me all that he had made;
All which did not fuffice

My larger Soul; therefore I pray'd,
He gave himself likewife.

I am wholly in God..

In th' midft of God I live and breathe, In him I'm only bright;

The rays with which I fhine beneath, Are borrow'd from his light.

I am wholly God's.

O Lord, I'm not at all my own,
Nor for another free:

Let Life be a Reflection

Of beams receiv'd from thee !

All things below thee, Lord, I judge
To be below my Soul;

O let my nobler Mind e'en grudge
Itself in Duft to roll!

Be more myself, O God, to me
Than I myself have been;

Make me, O God, more one with thee
Than with myself!

FIN IS.

Amen.
