Book 2

Wherein is treated the proximate means of ascending to union with God, which is faith; and wherein  therefore is described the second part of this night, which, as we said, belongs to the spirit, and is contained in the second stanza, which is as follows.

STANZA II.

In darkness, and in safety,
By the secret ladder, disguised,
happy lot !
In darkness and concealment,
fily house being now at rest.

Chapter 1

Commentary on the second stanza.

Chapter 2

Which begins to treat of the second part or cause of this night, which is faith. Proves by two arguments how it is darker than the first and than the third.

Chapter 3

How faith is dark night to the soul. This is proved with arguments and quotations and figures from Scripture.
