Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ That which shines brightest presents itself first to the eye; and the devout soul, in the chain of excel lent and precious things, which are represented in the counsel, design, and first beginnings of the work of our redemption, hath not leisure to attend to the twinkling of the lesser stars, till it hath stood and admired the glory and eminences of the Divine love, manifested in the incarnation of the Word eternal. God had no necessity, in order to the conservation or the heightening his own felicity, but out of mere and perfect charity, and the bowels of compassion, sent into the world his 'only Son, for remedy to human miseries, to ennoble our nature by a union with Divinity, to sanctify it with his justice, to en rich it with his grace, to instruct it with his doc trine, to fortify it with his example, to rescue it from servitude, to assert it into the liberty of the sons of God, and at last to make it partaker of a beatifical resurrection.
