“6:  O Son of earth!  Know, verily, the heart wherein the least remnant...”

O Son of earth!  Know, verily, the heart wherein the least remnant of envy yet lingers, shall never attain My everlasting dominion, nor inhale the sweet savors of holiness breathing from My kingdom of sanctity.

“7:  O Son of love!  Thou art but one step away from the glorious...”

O Son of love!  Thou art but one step away from the glorious heights above and from the celestial tree of love.  Take thou one pace and with the next advance into the immortal realm and enter the pavilion of eternity.  Give ear then to that which hath been revealed by the pen of glory.

“8:  O Son of glory!  Be swift in the path of holiness, and enter the...”

O Son of glory!  Be swift in the path of holiness, and enter the heaven of communion with Me.  Cleanse thy heart with the burnish of the spirit, and hasten to the court of the Most High.

“10:  O Son of desire!  Give ear unto this:  Never shall mortal eye recognize...”

“12:  O man of two visions!  Close one eye and open the other.  Close one to...”

O man of two visions!  Close one eye and open the other.  Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved.

“13:  O My children!  I fear lest, bereft of the melody of the dove of...”
