On the Art of Meditation

Who will the Art of meditation learn,
Must make each Paragraph his chief concern.
For some few moments to consider on,
Lest reading more create confusion;
And unavoidably disturb the Brain,
With more at once, than what it can retain;
When Piety by Art is thus refin'd,
It will rejoyce the heart, inrich the mind
With sacred Thoughts; beyond all Earthly care;
Till flesh be turn'd into Angelick Air.

All Men should live as ever in God's sight,
And make Devotion their supreme delight.
And then observe, how God does Grace return,
To make Seraphick Joy the brighter burn.
