This volume includes two works attributed to Francis Quarles, though actually written by C. Harvey. The first, 'The school of the heart,' delves into the journey of the soul's return to God. The second, 'The learning of the heart,' further explores spiritual growth and divine guidance. The collection is part of 'Emblems divine and moral,' with the title leaf and plates missing. more
