Theophilus. Wherein consisteth that blessedness and felicity? doth not Saint John give the reason, alleging not his authority, but the authority of he spirit of God, that he himself hath heard? saying: hereafter they rest from their labours. Thou doest well perceive that they are called blessed, because that by death they go and depart from the travails and wickedness of this world, and after the same do go into eternal rest and joy, Sith then that it is so, what need they any longer to sing: Requiem eternam dona eis domine: O Lord give them eternal rest, sith that they have it already? For they do not pray but for those which are dead in our Lord.
