And thus of all other the unconceivable Beatitudes of glory, there shall be satiety without nauseating, so that they shall say they have enough, without envying others, or wishing more for themselves. Now they may have some ⟨p. 67⟩fits of joy, but then they shall have their fill; even the external senses of the glorified body shall now contain more glory, 1than the spiritual senses of their Souls were capable of in this imperfect state. 2The Saints shall have as much glory as they are able to stand under; hence we read of a weight of glory, a weight that would utterly sink and crush them into nothing, were there not an Arm of Omnipotence to sustain them, and to make them bear it, as their Crown, not as a burden, with ease and delight.
