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]
