And the nobler the form, the more does it retain of that Divine Nature.
Wherefore the human Soul, which is the noblest form of all those which are generated under Heaven, receives more from the Divine Nature than any other.

And since it is most natural to wish to be in God, for as in the book quoted above one reads, the first thing is to exist, and before that there is nothing, the human Soul desires to exist naturally with all possible desire.

And since its existence depends upon God, and is preserved by Him, it naturally desires and longs to be united to God, and so add strength to its own being.

And since, in the goodness of Human Nature, Reason gives us proof of the Divine, it follows that, naturally, the Human Soul is united therewith by the path of the spirit so much the sooner, and so much the more firmly, in proportion as those good qualities appear more perfect; which appearance of perfection is achieved according as the power of the Soul to produce a good impression is strong and clear, or is trammelled and obscure.

And this union is that which we call Love, whereby it is possible to know that which is within the Soul, by looking at those whom it loves in the world without.
