Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God has faithfully taught us here, what we must do that our hearts may be clean
and pure houses of prayer; for the human is really and truly a Holy Temple of God. But all traders must first be driven out
of this Temple of God; that is all the fancies and imaginations which are not really of God; and also all delight in the
creature and in our own will; therefore this temple must first be cleansed with tears of repentance and the Love of God,
that it may be made clean and pure…. Therefore, this Temple of God is a pure clean heart; and it is truly a Temple of
God, where the Eternal God ever dwelleth in truth, when all that is unlike Him has been driven out and cast forth.
John Tauler (d. 1361)
