Oh my soul, the time will come when you are good, simple, and pure. You will be more open and clear than the body that holds you. One day you will feel the happiness of those who love truly and who care nothing for worldly things. You will be complete and need nothing from outside yourself. You won't seek pleasure from anything in this world, whether living or dead. You won't need more time for enjoyment, or a special place, or good weather, or the approval of others.
O my soul, the time I trust will be, when thou shalt be good, simple, single, more open and visible, than that body by which it is enclosed. Thou wilt one day be sensible of their happiness, whose end is love, and their affections dead to all worldly things. Thou shalt one day be full, and in want of no external thing: not seeking pleasure from anything, either living or insensible, that this world can afford; neither wanting time for the continuation of thy pleasure, nor place and opportunity, nor the favour either of the weather or of men.
