Now one of the proper Engines for this, (I mean, the rescuing of our love from what is worldly, and to be seen, ) is to chew, and to ruminate, long enough in our Thoughts, upon this great Truth, that even our love of the Body does wholly depend upon the Soul. And the titular Beauty of the Flesh must be confessed by the most sensual to lye intirely in the spirit. For (if we except the sole case of the NONLATINALPHABET in Herodotus, which yet was not love, but another thing, and that perhaps but a Fable too,) who ever heard of any Lover fixing his love upon the Body, so much as one short minute after the vanishing of the Soul? Did the Corinthians court their Lais, when nothing was left them but her Body? Did Demosthenes take a Iourney, in kindness to her when she was dead? no, there was nothing then desirable, besides Forgetfulness, and a Grave. Nothing then, but the Worms, was able to covet her Embraces. Methinks that this one observable, (were it as patiently consider'd, as it is easily understood, ) should conduce extremely much to the spiritualizing of our Affections. |
