Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 152

152. There are many arcana about man's turning and enlightenment therefrom, as that each has societies towards which men turn when in obscurity, that there is presence when they think of anyone, and that there is conjunction with him whom they love. They who acknowledge other gods turn to their own loves. They who look to the Father turn in various ways, the greater part towards the summit of heaven whence there is no other turning. Wherefore those who do not acknowledge the Lord cannot be with the angels of heaven, etc., etc.
