Overview

Annotated Edition including: . A beautiful and Easy to Read Layout . Notes . A biography . A bibliography. LAST year, for my own spiritual benefit especially, I composed a ""Gradual to ascend unto God from the Contemplation of created objects."" Now, since it hath pleased God to prolong my old age a little longer, I wish to meditate on that heavenly country to which all the sons of Adam ardently aspire, who dwell, lamenting and weeping, in this valley of death; and these meditations I desire to write, lest they perish. Wherefore in the Holy Scriptures, which may be compared to ""Consoling Letters"" sent unto us in this our exile from heaven by our Father, I find four names mentioned, from which we may in a manner learn what are the good things of that land. The names are, -Paradise, Mansion, City, and a Kingdom. Hence these four words mean one and the same thing; and the Paradise is so extensive, that it can truly be called a House, City, and Kingdom. Wherefore, concerning this most blessed place I will first, under the word ""Kingdom""; then under that of a ""City;"" afterwards under that of a ""House;"" and, lastly, under the word ""Paradise"" meditate in the chamber of my heart; and, with God's assistance, commit to writing what He shall please to suggest unto me.
