If thou wishest to behold it, thou shalt certainly behold it today. These are the rules of the ordinance, viz., that an enemy's abode should be entered through a wrong gate and a friend's abode through the right one.

So be of good cheer, thou shalt receive of me what shall rejoice thee, for I have with me great plenty of diamonds and I will give thee thereof what shall suffice thee; for each is better than aught thou couldst get otherwise. So fear nothing."
Thou shalt lamentably fall away if thou set a value upon any worldly thing. Let nothing be great, nothing high, nothing pleasing, nothing acceptable unto thee, save God Himself or the things of God. Reckon as altogether vain whatsoever consolation comes to thee from a creature. The soul that loveth God looketh not to anything that is beneath God.
To think of God's requirements and my own failures, if heaven has nothing more to say to me than this stern 'Thou shalt, is the short way to despair. And that is why most of us prefer to be immersed in the trivialities of daily life rather than to think of God, and of what He asks from us.

And I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God." But what manner of man was St John the Baptist in the meantime?
"Thou shalt think with the minds of twelve men, and the heart of one woman," he said, and paused. "Justice and mercy," murmured the voice from the bed. "Thou shalt keep the faith of food and blanket." Again Pierre paused. "And a man shall have no cause to fear his friend," said the voice again.
"Thou shalt hear the judgment of the dullard...." Thou hast always spoken the truth, thou great writer of ours; thou hast spoken it this time, also.
