CCEL Footnote 1836 (In-Text, Margin)

... which is corruptible, and presseth down the soul, and the earthly habitation weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.” When therefore I abstract my mind from the multiplicity of things, and gather it up into the One God, the inseparable Trinity, that so I may see something which I may say of it, think ye that in this “body which presseth down the soul,” I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), “O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee.”[Psalms 86:4] May He assist me, may He lift it up with me. For I am too infirm in respect of Him, and He in respect of me is too mighty.
