More DescriptionWe read the Book of Proverbs, "Behold, I have described it to thee three manner of ways"; And knowing that the Trinity governs every science we can assuredly say that the science related in Sacred ScriptureSurely must represent the Trinity.And indeed it does,For the Wise Man has described these three waysIn a spiritual interpretation:Moral,Allegorical,Anagogicai.This triple sense In turn corresponds to somethingfurther:Purgation,Illumination,Perfection.For purgation leads one to peace;Illumination draws one to truth;Perfection is the same as charity.When these three are in your possession,Then indeedYour soul will be beatifiedAnd from these three it will receive increasing merit.But training is requiredIf one is to ma.ster this triple hierarchic act:By reading and meditation,By prayer,By contemplation.
