First doubtless the state of souls in heaven is in all things most fortunate. The which is figured by the white garments. For the glory of the blessed is signified, that are now in light, ⟨p. 202⟩and feel nothing of darkness, of this garment I have spoken before. And it is said expressly, and white garments are given to every one of them. For every soul receiveth his rewards: And the body also at the end of the world shall receive his own garment. S. Gregory? Saints as yet, sayeth he, have the fruition only of the bless of the souls: but in the end of the world, they shall receive two stoles or garments, for with the perfect joy of the souls they shall be clothed also with the incorruption of bodies. Hereof shall be reasoned more diligently about the end of the .vii Chapter. where this place shall be declared more at large. After it was said to the blessed souls ([Greek or Hebrew]) that they should rest. Therefore they be altogether in quiet, and feel no perturbation, which in the .xii. Chapter. shall more plainly be declared. Notwithstanding that it may be referred to delay and breathing, as though he should have said. It was signified to the souls, that they should yet differ and abide. For it followeth: yet a little while. Therefore God signifieth, that after a little time he will deliver his, and punish the adversaries.
First doubtles the state of soules in heauen is in al things most fortunate. The which is figured by the white garmēts. For the glory of ye blessed is signified, that are nowe in light, ⟨p. 202⟩and fele nothinge of darkenes, of this garmente I haue spoken before. And it is sayd expressely, and white garments are geuen to euery one of them. For euery soule receiueth his rewardes: And the body also at thend of the world shal receiue his owne garmente. S. Gregory? Saintes as yet, sayeth he, haue the fruition only of the blesse of the soules: but in thend of the world, they shal receiue two stoles or garmentes, for with the perfecte ioye of the soules they shall be clothed also wyth the incorruption of bodyes. Hereof shall be reasoned more dilligently about thende of the .vii Chapter. where this place shal be declared more at large. After it was sayde to the blessed soules (〈non-Latin alphabet〉) that they should rest. Therfore they be altogether in quiet, and fele no perturbation, whiche in the .xii. Chapter. shall more plainely be declared. Notwythstanding that it may be referred to delay and breathinge, as though he should haue sayd. It was signifyed to the soules, that they should yet differ and abyde. For it followeth: yet a lytle whyle. Therfore God signifyeth, that after a little tyme he wyl delyuer hys, and punnishe the aduersaryes.
