I sport with the beasts of the earth; the lion licks my hand like a spaniel; and the serpent sleeps upon my lap, and stings me not. I play with the fowls of heaven, and the birds of the air sit sing- ing on my fist. All these things are true in a sober sense. And the dispensation I live in is more happiness above all measure, than if thou couldst call down the moon so near thee by thy magic charms, that thou mayst kiss her, as she is said to have kissed Endymion; or couldst stop the course of t...he sun; or which is all one, with one stamp of thy foot stay the motion of the earth. ... He that is come hither, God hath taken him to be his own familiar friend; and though he speaks to others aloof off, in outward religions and parables, yet he leads this man by the hand, teaching him intelligible documents upon all the objects of his providence; speaks to him plainly in his own language; sweetly insinuates Himself, and possesseth all his faculties, understanding, reason and memoiy. This is the darling of God, and a prince amongst men, far above the dispensation of either miracle or prophecy.
