Excerpt from A Treatise on Divine Union, Designed to Point Out Some of the Intimate Relations Between God and Man in the Higher Forms of Religious Experience There are some things in the following pages which may seem difficult to be understood, and perhaps still more so to be received; but all I can ask is, that they may be read in that spirit of simplicity and prayer in, which, I trust, they have been written. I have no private or party interests to subserve; but only wish to do what I may seem, in the providence of God, called to do, for that cause of Christ, of God, and humanity, which is dearer to me than anything else. And this is a consolation which always attends me, - the full belief that the truth will live and do the good which is appropriate to it, and that all error will and must die. Some of the principles which are lard down in these pages will be found in other writers. They are clearly sustained by some passages in St. Augustine, and in other writers of an early date. They harmonize with many views and expressions which are found in the devout writings of Thauler and Arndt.
