Overview

Excerpt from Contemplations of the Dread and Love of God: From the Ms. Harleian 2409 in the British Museum The Fire of Love, and remind ing us of Walter Hilton rather than of Richard Rolle It is a book which, so long as life lasts, with its struggle between good and evil, the better and the best, can never be outwom. And when we in England are being forced to face the things which are eternal, be we lord or lady, husbandman or wife, we may perhaps find these eternal questions more simply and more truly answered in these old words, written by this English writer of long ago, than in our modern and more complex authors. And, to use his own words, if men had such sweetness in the love of God of so late time, I suppose well that the same we may have now, by the gift of God, if we were as fervent in love as they werel.
