But what the same life, and of what sort, fashion and manner the salvation of the faithful shall be, or what the elect do or occupy in heaven, can of mortal men not perfectly be spoken. For s. Augustine also in his .22. book de civitate Dei. cap. 29. saith.

Paul out of the Prophet, concerning the quality,1 fashion and manner of eternal life: the eye ⟨p. 211⟩hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the hart of man the things, which God hath prepared for them, that love him. Wherefore touching the excellency of eternal life though all were spoken that the tongs of men were able, yet should it be hard for them to attain, and by words to express the least and smallest portion thereof.
