¶ The seventh Chapter of the seventh consideration of the good which is above us.
¶ The seuenth Chapiter of the seuenth consideration of the good whiche is aboue vs.
I Do not speak of the eternal and celestial goods, which the blessed do enjoy, as in a clear light and vision of God: but rather or at the least I speak of those according to faith, and after the means by the which these things may be comprehended of us. Also this seventh consideration is Jesus Christ the king of glory, rising from death. For as we read in the seventh consideration of evils, he suffered, died, & ⟨p. 54⟩was buried: so here we may behold the sovereign inestimable joy of our hearts and the strength of our felicity and comfort. The Son of God being raised from death dieth no more, death shall no more reign nor have domination over him. This is the furnace of Charity and the fire of GOD in Zion, as saith Isaiah. For Jesus Christ is born to us, and not only so: but is also given to us, and therefore his resurrection is mine, and all that he hath accomplished by his most glorious resurrection. And as Saint Paul in the. 8. to the Romans, doth glory and rejoice, saying. How shall he not give us all things with him?
