As in Nature, every beholder hath an whole Sun, and the whole Heavens to himself, with all their splendour and influence, as much as if there were but one man in the world.
In terrestrials (indeed) it is not so; there what one man hath, another hath not, and where many share, every single mans portion is the less: whence it is ⟨p. 66⟩that Meum and Tuum fills all the world with quarrels and confusions:
But there is no such thing in heaven: the multitude of heirs do not divide or lessen the Inheritance: the Reason is, because there are no particles in Essentials; every one hath all, and none the less for what another enjoyeth.
Yea, the more, because the joy of one is the joy of all; every heir of Glory enjoyeth not only what himself hath, but what his Co-heir hath too; so that upon the point each Saint enjoys as many heavens as there be Angels and Saints in heaven: A blessed Mystery of Multiplication.
