Dilige Et Quod Vis Fac

We therefore see
these things
which THOU madest
because they are
 
but they are
because THOU seest them
 
and we see without
that they are
and within
that they are good
 
but THOU sawest them there
when made
where THOU sawest them
yet to be made
 
and we were at a later time
moved to do well
after our hearts
had conceived of THY spirit
 
but in the former time
we were moved to do evil
forsaking THEE
 
but THOU
the One
the Good god
didst never cease
doing good
 
and we also have
some good works
of THY gift but not eternal
 
after them
we trust to rest
in THY great hallowing
but THOU being the good
which needeth no good
art ever at rest
because THY rest is THOU THYself
 
and what man can teach
man to understand this
 
or what angel an angel
or what angel a man
let it be asked of THEE
sought in THEE
knocked for at THEE
 
so shall it be received
so shall it be found
so shall it be opened
 
ordo
Amen
