26 INTRODUCTION<br />

by <strong>the</strong> great Lady herself; but I am <strong>to</strong> furnish <strong>the</strong>e<br />

with <strong>the</strong> necessary images in order <strong>to</strong> elucidate what<br />

<strong>the</strong> heavenly Mistress shall teach <strong>the</strong>e, and I am <strong>to</strong> give<br />

<strong>the</strong>e o<strong>the</strong>r understandings ordained by <strong>the</strong> Most High,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> clearer recording of <strong>the</strong> mysteries manifested <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>e. Thou shalt experience all of <strong>the</strong>m although <strong>the</strong>m<br />

shalt not always know <strong>the</strong> connection and <strong>the</strong> sacraments<br />

hidden under this providential guidance. Thou shalt also<br />

perceive that <strong>the</strong> Lord himself, making use of this special<br />

providence in thy regard, has commissioned me <strong>to</strong> com<br />

pel <strong>the</strong>e, with sweetest urgency, <strong>to</strong> imitate <strong>the</strong> purest<br />

Mary our Queen, and <strong>to</strong> follow Her and obey Her in her<br />

doctrine. From now on I shall execute this mandate<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Lord with greater insistence and force.<br />

Resolve<br />

<strong>the</strong>n <strong>to</strong> be most faithful and thankful in regard <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />

blessings and seek <strong>to</strong> scale <strong>the</strong> highest summits of <strong>the</strong><br />

perfection taught <strong>the</strong>e and asked of <strong>the</strong>e. Remember,<br />

that even if thou reach <strong>the</strong> perfection of <strong>the</strong> highest sera<br />

phim, thou shalt still be in great debt <strong>to</strong> God s copious<br />

and liberal mercy. The new mode of life, which <strong>the</strong><br />

Lord asks of <strong>the</strong>e, is contained and is made clear in <strong>the</strong><br />

instructions given <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>e by our great Queen and Lady,<br />

and in what thou shalt understand and write in this third<br />

part of her life.<br />

Listen <strong>to</strong> Her with a submissive heart,<br />

thank Her humbly, execute Her doctrine anxiously and<br />

carefully; fcr if thou do this, thou shalt be fortunate<br />

and eternally<br />

blessed.&quot;<br />

28. O<strong>the</strong>r things, which <strong>the</strong> angels <strong>to</strong>ld me, need not<br />

be mentioned for my present purpose. But what is con<br />

tained in this introduction, will manifest partly <strong>the</strong> provi<br />

dence of <strong>the</strong> Most High <strong>to</strong>ward me and it will also make<br />

known <strong>the</strong> high purposes of divine Wisdom in <strong>the</strong> writing<br />

of this his<strong>to</strong>ry. These are, that not only I, but all who<br />

desire, may reap <strong>the</strong> fruits of this blessing, and that<br />
