St. BERN.

If thou desirest the helpe of Angels, flee the comforts of the world, and resist the Temptations of the Devill.

He will give his Angels charge over thee? O what reverence, what love, what confidence deserves so sweet a saying? For their presence, reverence; for their goodwill, love; for their tuition, confidence.
