whose breath goeth downward to the earth; I am still very much afraid thereof, lest it should continue to depress the mind which is lifted up to God, by hanging as a dead weight thereto; and go on to abuse and perplex the same, as formerly, with dreams and trifles, by letting in the objects from without, in order to draw me down into the World and the hurry thereof; whereas I would fain maintain by in Heaven even while I am living in the World. What, therefore, must I do with this body, that I may be able to keep up so desirable a , and not to be under subjection to it any longer?
