He that followeth me, saith Christ our Saviour, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. These be the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby we be admonished and warned, that we shall follow His teachings and His manner of living, if we will truly be illumined and be delivered from all blindness of heart. Let all the study of our heart be, therefore, from henceforth to have our meditation wholly fixed in the life and in the holy teachings of Jesus Christ: for His teachings are of more virtue and of more ghostly strength than are the teachings of all Angels and Saints.
