Spiritus his titulis arcana recondita Mentis ambit et electos vocat in praecordia Sensus; quaque hominis natura viget, quam corpore toto quadrua vis animat, trinis ingressibus aram cordis adit castisque colit sacraria votis; seu pueros sol primus agat, seu fervor ephebos incendat nimius, seu consummabilis aevi perficiat lux plena viros, sive algida Borrae aetas decrepitam vocet ad pia sacra senectam, occurrit trinum quadrina ad compita nomen, quod bene discipulis disponit rex duodenis.
With these inscriptions the Spirit encircles the unseen privacy of Soul, calling elect Sentiments into the heart; and at whatever side is mans life, whose bodily temper is given by a four-fold force, it approaches the altar in the heart by three avenues and with pure desires honours its sanctuary; whether it be the brisk dawn of childhood, or the strong burning heat of youth, or the broad day of the mans full maturity, or the chill time of north wind calling feeble age to its devotions, three names present themselves at this meeting-place of ways on each of its four sides, where the King sets them out in honour of his twelve disciples.
