1Here followeth the third member. Some may marvel, what the blessed shall do in the world everlasting. Therefore S. John sayeth, and his s••uauntes, [Greek or Hebrew], shall serve him, God I say and the Lamb, they shall worship him in honouring, praising, & magnifying him for ever. Therefore ⟨p. 671⟩shall they wholly addict themselves to godly worshipping. Which thing shall in deed be to him great pleasure. As also S. Austen showeth in an other place.
