Excerpt from Holy Wisdom: Or Directions for the Prayer of Contemplation, Extracted Out of More Than Forty Treatises If it is a duty to apply to holy books the practice which the Following of Christ bids us observe towards holy persons, 'not to dispute concerning the merits of the saints, as to who is more holy than another, or greater in the kingdom of heaven, ' it will not be right to give the preference to the work which we are now offering in a new form to the public, over the many spiritual books which have helped on souls in the way of perfection. But it will not be right either to give to other books a preference over this. Certainly Sancta Sophia has been of great service in instructing beginners, in guiding proficients, and in securing those that have arrived at some degree of perfection, in the way along which Almighty God has called and led souls that have been highly privileged, and the Holy Spirit, who breatheth where He will, has through the words of the Venerable Father Baker whispered to these souls, and has drawn them on to a closer and closer union with Himself.
