humility,
an
abasement
under
the
immense
weight
of
God's
greatness.
All
this
is
an
annihilation
in
which
they
dwell
without
being
annihilated.
They
have
the
feeling
of
annihilation
without
the
reality,
for
the
soul
is
still
sustained
by
its
feelings,
and
this
state
is
more
satisfactory
to
it
than
any
other,
for
it
gives
more
assurance.
This
class
usually
are
only
brought
into
God
by
death,
unless
it
be
some
privileged
ones,
whom
God
designs
to
be
the
lights
of
His
Church,
or
whom
He
designs
to
sanctify
more
eminently;
and
such
He
robs
by
degrees
of
all
their
riches.
But
as
there
are
few
suffi-ciently
courageous
to
be
willing,
after
so
much
blessedness,
to
lose
it
all,
few
pass
this
point,
God's
intention
perhaps
being
that
they
should
not
pass
it,
and
that,
as
in
the
Father's
house
there
are
many
m'ansions,
they
should
only
occupy
this
one.
Let
us
leave
the
causes
with
God.
