The Thomas Watson Collection: 11 Classic Works by Thomas Watson

Added by Postmilstill archive ·

Meditation is the saints' looking glass, by which they see things invisible. Meditation is the golden ladder by which they ascend to paradise. Meditation is the spy they send abroad to search the land of promise, and it brings a cluster of the grapes of Eshcol with it. Meditation is the dove they send out, and it brings an olive branch of peace in its mouth. But who can tell how sweet honey is, save they that taste it? The excellency of meditation I leave to experienced Christians, who will say the comfort of it may be better felt than expressed.

We should look upon sin in two looking-glasses'the glass of Christ's blood, and the glass of death.
