Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverend Joseph Hall, Vol. 8: Bishop of Exeter and Afterwards of Norwich I. - blessed Lord God, thou callest me to obedience, and fain would I follow thee; but what good can this wretched heart of mine be capable of except thou put it there? Thou knowest I cannot so much as wish to think well without thee. I have strong powers to offend thee: my sins are my own: but whence should I have any inclination to good but from thee, who art only and all good? Lord, work me to what thou requirest, and then require what thou wilt. II. - Lord God, whither need I go to seek thee! Thou art so with me, as that I cannot move but in thee. I look up to heaven: there I know thy Majesty most manifests itself; but withal, I know, that being here thou art never out of thy heaven, for it is thy presence only that makes heaven. 0, give me to enjoy thee, in this lowest region of thy heavenly habitation: and as, in respect of my natural being, I live and move in thee; so let me not live and move spiritually, but with thee and to thee.
