Simple Way of Salvation
O
plain, and easy, and simple way of salvation, wanting
no subtleties of art or science, no borrowed learning,
no refinements of reason, but all done by the simple
natural motion of every heart, that truly longs after God.
For no sooner is the finite desire of the creature in
motion towards God, but the infinite desire of God is
united with it, co-operates with it. And in this united
desire of God, and the creature, is the salvation and
life of the soul brought forth.
- William Law (1686-1761), The Spirit of Prayer [1749]
