Moreover holy scripture speaketh very simply and plainly, that eternal life consisteth here in, that we shall see God, and have the fruition of him, in whom is the fullness of all good, and without whom nothing can be desired or found, that is good, beautiful or pleasant. For eternal life or eternal salvation is nothing else, but mans everlasting and alway continuing state, which by means of the best things of all, ⟨p. 215⟩is fully perfect.
