from THE DIGNITY OF HUMAN NATURE, or, a brief account of the certain and established means for attaining THE TRUE END OF OUT EXISTENCE:

"How is the only Being, who possesses existence in himself, over-looked by those whom he himself has brought into being ! How does He, by whom all things exist, deem to such inconsiderate minds not to exist ! How do the glories of his works, which were intended to point him out, conceal from such unthinking minds the glorious Maker ! How do such ungrateful men basely take up with the gifts, without thinking on the All-bounteous Giver ! How much are those men of gross and earthly dispositions their own enemies ! How do they strive to feed their heaven-born minds with the unsatisfying and nauseous objects of sense ; depriving them of that sublime entertainment, for which they were intended, and which is ever offering itself to them, the contemplation and enjoyment of  Divinity, the possession of infinite perfection ! Open thy narrow mind, unthinking mortal. Enlarge thy confined desires. Raise thy groveling ambition. Quit the trifling objects which now possess, and which will in the end disappoint thee. Trample under thy feet the wretched amusements of riches, honors, and pleasures ; and aspire to what is worthy the dignity of thy nature, and thy Divine Original. It is thy Maker himself that is ready to take possession of thy mind. It is the Divinity himself, that would pour into thy soul delights ineffable, that would dwell in thee, and join thee to himself in an eternal union, which will raise thee to bliss and glory above thy most extensive wishes, beyond thy most elevated conceptions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Burgh
