   • 1658, Sir Thomas Browne, Hydriotaphia or Urne Buriall:

     And if any have been so happy as to truly understand Christian annihilation, extasis, exolution, liquefaction, transformation, the kisse of the Spouse, gustation of God, and ingression into the divine shadow, they have already had an handsome anticipation of heaven; the glory of the world is surely over, and the earth in ashes unto them.
