And that is also the meaning and understanding of Paul, when he saith:1 God shall be all in all. And hereunto serveth now the goodly sentence of S. Augustine,2 who saith thus: God shall be the end of all our longing and desire: him shall we perpetually ⟨p. 221⟩see, him shall we love without tediousness and grief, and him shall we praise without ceasing. For tediousness and grief runneth customably with saturation or fullness. As for us, we shall with the beholding of God, be filled to the bodily satisfying: which filling shall be as little tedious or grievous, as we are grieved at the waters and rivers, that still run into the sea, and yet out of the ground of the earth spring forth again.

For tediousnesse and grefe runneth customably with saturation or fulnesse. As for vs, we shal with the beholding of God, be filled to the bodelye satisfying: which filling shalbe as little tedious or greuous, as we are greued at the waters and riuers, yt stil run into the sea, and yet oute of the groūd of the earthe spring forth againe.
