By THOMAS À KEMPIS.
“He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, saith the Lord.” These are
the words of Christ, by which we are admonished that we ought to imitate
his life and manners, if we would be truly enlightened and delivered from
all blindness of heart.
Let therefore our chief endeavor be to meditate upon the life of Jesus
Christ.
What will it avail thee to dispute sublimely of the Trinity, if thou be
void of humility, and art thereby displeasing to the Trinity?
Truly, sublime words do not make a man holy and just; but a virtuous life
maketh him dear to God.
