Thomas à Kempis : his age and book . fifteenth chapter of the third book. It is a prayerfor the complete fulfilment of Gods will which declaresthat the unity of will must bring unity with God, andthat such unity alone is peace. * Tua voluntas measit et mea voluntas tuam sequatur semper, et optimeei concordet. Sit mihi unum velle et nolle tecum, neealiud posse velle et nolle, nisi quod vis, etnolis. . Da mihi super omnia desiderata in tequiescere, et cor meum in te pacificare. Tu verapax cordis, tu sola requies, extra te omnia sunt duraet inquieta. In hac pace, in idipsum, hoc est, inTe uno sum
