The office of the Love here is to penetrate incessantly into Something;
and if it penetrate into, and find a place in Something which is
standing still and at rest, then its business is to take possession
thereof. And when it hath there taken possession, then it rejoiceth
therein with its flaming Love-fire, even as the sun doth in the visible
world. And then the office of it is without intermission to enkindle a
fire in this Something which may burn it up; and then with the flames
thereof exceedingly to enflame itself, and raise the heat of the
Love-fire by it, even seven degrees higher.
