in the same measure And he that sowes in benedictions shall reape a plentuous crope of benedictions O centuple of this life how oft shalt thou be centupled in the life to come In those Diuine and celestiall Abodes called by the Scripture MANSIONS some are placed higher then others saith S. AVGVSTINE and doe behold God more clearely And S. GREGORIE speaking of the same subiect The great and litle saith he are in Glorie but they enioy it more or lesse according to the diuersitie of their merit Nor are we vpon this word Mansions to imagine to our selues separated Celles or Quarters a part in the heauenly Hierusalem where there is a perfect societie amongst the Blessed together with a Communitie of all good things each one reioyceing no lesse in anothers felicitie then in his owne all this holy Compainie hauing but one Soule and one Heart in God the one and onely Obiect of their desires But by that word saith S. THOMAS after S. AVGVSTINE we are to conceaue diuers degrees of Charitie and rewards which are had in this plentifull Rest where the Saintes doe reside for euer as in the happie repose of the LAND OF PROMISSE In what measure the beatified vnderstanding sees God in Heauen XLIX IT is no smale question Athanasia to know how far the vnderstanding fortified with the light of Glorie doth extend it selfe in the coÌ„templation of the Diuine Essence which it beholds without all helpe of species or representation But the Angell of the schoole giues a worthy satisfaction to this holy curiositie in teaching vs that God according to IEREMIE being by reason of his infinitie incomprehensible to euery created thought can neuer be compreheÌ„ded by any vnderstaÌ„ding with what euer light of Glorie they be adorned and assisted Because euery creature being bounded is not capable to comprehend an infinite Obiect Hence we haue that fine and necessarie distinction that the blessed shall see God All indeed but not totally they shall see him all because being most simple he cannot be seene but he is all seene But againe wheras he is infinite there nether is nor can be any capacitie out of himselfe which can totally comprehend him nor imbrace that immense Infinitie which is onely knowen of him selfe Wee haue some semblance of this Truth which cannot be seene vnlesse it be all seene and yet is it neuer totally seene though it be euen a limited creature and hath nothing comparable to the Creatour So doe the fish and fowles inioy the vast extent of the Sea and ayre yet what fish did euer swime in all the waters and what bird did euer with flight measure the ayres extent All this notwithstanding is possible because it is finite But the Diuinitie which is boundlesse cannot be totally seene For who did euer sound the depth of such an Abisse And who hath euer knowen the sense of our Lord Herein is discouered the impertinencie of AETIVS and ENNANIVS old Heretikes who affirmed that God could be comprehended by a creature as though forsooth an illimited thing could be shut vp within limites An impertinencie pertinently refuted by those great lightes of the Church S. BASILE S. GREGORIE OF NAZIANZENE S. CHRISOSTOME S. AVGVSTINE and after them by the Angelicall Doctor Yet this doth not impeach the full and intire satisfaction of the Blessed nor doth the naturall incapacitie which they find in theÌ„selues to behold God totally any white vexe them yea contrariwise it doth augment their ioy and contentmeÌ„t which hath no other of-spring then the loue of God a loue of friendshippe which doth rather respect the greatnesse and glorie of the obiect beloued then it s owne interest what a pleasing rauishment shall possesse them to behold the most simple onely and incomposed simplicitie of that Diuine beautie which they contemplate all though not totally by reason of its incomprehensible infinitie In beholding it their desire is filled with euery good thing And beit they see it diuersly as we haue showen yet are they throughly content according to the comon similitude of a glasse wherof the least is as well filled with a litle as the greatest with much liquor And after the desire is saciated with the fruition of this ineffable Good with what an excesse of ioy are they taken to know that this adorable Deitie hath an infinite compainie of other graces and perfections still remayning to be seene relished which are not totally compreheÌ„ded nor knowen saue onely by himselfe Man doth then rayse himselfe aboue himselfe and liftes vp his heart But God greater then all hearts doth yet rise higher nor can he be encoÌ„pased by any other then himselfe in his full extent O how rauishing and admirable is that they behold And how good cause haue they to sing with the Angells the three Sanctuses to so dreadfull a Maiestie in so high a strayne that the Gates of Heauen shall tremble at it and to pronounce Thou art great and exceeding laudable Ã´ Lord and who can worthily enough sing thy excelleÌ„ces in thy sacred Citie in thy holy mountaines Though all creatures should ouerset themselues yea melt away in ioy and admiration yet shall they neuer arriue at the least of thyne infinite excelleÌ„cies Hence it is that the HYMNE of silence is the best suiting praise that can be offered vnto thee in thy Heauenly Sion Yet Ã´ God how much more admirable is that which those soules doe not discouer in thee since it surpasseth all created vnderstandings euen strengthened with the light of Glorie And to what a violent paine would the desire of knowing thee totally and louing thee deseruedly that is infinitly put them vnto if thy sweete and fatherly prouideÌ„ce least the puritie of their inspeakable ioyes might be stayned with the mixture of any discontent did not change the knowledge they haue that they cannot totally comprehend and imbrace thee into a soueraigne delight that the glorious Obiect of their view and loue is so immense that it cannot be perfectly and intirely knowen and beloued but by thy selfe by reason of the Diuine infinitie of thyne infinite Diuinitie Meane while they draw from this great ALL as from an vndraynable fountaine all their comon and particular delightes diuersely glorious according to the diuersitie of the light of Glorie which is distributed vnto them wherby they see him more or lesse with proportion to their Charitie and merit We haue some darke resemblance of this here below in the vse of our Senses For is it not true that the same Picture is diuersely beholden according to the varietie of their opinions and skill that doe behold it Is not a daintie musike diuersely receaued into the eare of the hearer according as their organes are disposed and they are attentiue vnto it And to conclude this discourse with an excellent similitude The miraculous MANNA which pleased euery palate was doubtlesse of a diuerse relish to the Israelite yet neuer any of them nor ioyntly all of them felt euer all the tastes

rather attribute vnto it a delicious humiditie vpon the tongue which makes it feele the taste of a hidden Manna then to beleeue that this facultie should be there without its peculiar delight And it is not without reason that Beatitude is compared in the Scripture to a great feaste and that the Sacred Canticles mention so many sweetes honie combes daintie and inebriating wines and that the heauenly Spouse inuites those to drinke and eate who are called inuited and admitted to his eternall marriages For though we cannot fully conceaue in this life what the endlesse delightes shall be which God hath in his right hand to bestow vpon his Fauorites yet doth Faith teach vs that there are secretes lockt vp in the treasures of his wisdome to doe that which we cannot comprehend Our Lord saith ISAIE will make a solemne banquet in his holy mountaine for all natioÌ„s replenished with all sortes of good things and delicate meates a banquet far other then that of ASSVERVS which the scripture deliuers in such pompe in the booke of ESTER O how happie shall he be saith the Holy Euangelist who shall eate bread in the Kingdome of Heauen and shall be inuited to the marriage of the lambe Behold saith the Sauiour of our soules what I haue prepared for you in the Kingdome which my Father hath giuen me that you may eate and drinke at my table And S. LVKE speaking of this Eternall banquet Amen I say vnto you saith he the Sonne of man shall girt himselfe and shall make his Elect sit at his table and he will serue them according to their rancke And the Psalmist the desire of the Elect that is their appetite shall be replenished with good things and the same speaking of himselfe I shall not be saciated saith he till the glorie of our Lord shall appeare vnto me Could the delightes of the taste be more plainely set out By how much the eye passeth the other Senses in dignitie by so much its delightes shall be more worthy of coÌ„sideration O God what rauishing spectacles shall they behold and how all the worlds rarities shall shew vile and obscure in regard of the wonderous splendour of the heauenly Hierusalem How shall the diuersitie of the glorious bodies adorned with so many recommendable qualities rauish them But leauing the Angells and Saintes of the lower rankes Ã´ blessed eyes what ioy shall you not feele in the vision of that glorious visage of IESVS CHRIST which the Angells haue beholden for so many ages and shall behold for euer and euer so far from being wearied of it that they shall be delightfully saciated with it O Deified humanitie the soueraigne glorie and felicitie of the eyes that behold thee Ã´ resplendant Sunne of the Easte Ã´ starre the light of the world Ã´ Lambe who art the Lampe of the eternall Sion how happie are they who in these Tabernackles of assurance shall incessantly behold thee vpon the Diuine Thabor and shall adore thee like the Elders of the Apocalipse before the Throne of thy Maiestie in the highest IOB beholding in spirit this happie Abode rauished with content said I know that my Redeemour liues and that at the last day I shall rise againe and shall issue out of the ground being a new againe clad with the same skinne with which now I am inuironed and that in myne owne flesh I shall see my God my Redeemour whom with myne owne eyes I shall behold and with no others and this hope layed vp in my bosome is my sweetest consolation O Goodly Paradice it is in thee that the eares shall heare those secrete words which S. PAVLE heard in his Rapture and which he durst not speake againe Ã´ blessed eares it is in this place that you shall heare the words of spirit and life yea words of spirit life euerlasting Ã´ Saintes then shall you say we will harken what our Lord shall say vnto vs yes speake Lord for thy seruants are attentiue And if the Queene of Saba did repute Salomon's courtiers happie because they dayly heard the discourses of wisdome which issued from his mouth what shall it be to heare him who is incomparably more then SALOMON and who is wisdome it selfe Ã´ how delightfull shall the discourses of Saintes be how delicious their song and harmonious musicke nay the Saintes dance for ioy in this holy place and God's prayses doe continually resound in their mouthes Be hust heauenly Musicians who so highly sing the Glorie of God Silence ye warbling birds Consorts of the world be still while the Musicians of heauen tune their instruments and play of their Harpes till they entone with one consent of hearts and voices the Song of the Lambe The Song alwayes new of him who alone workes wonders A continuation of the precedeÌ„t subiect LVI BVt doe you not perceaue Athanasia the sweete charme of all the parfumers odoriferous Sentes By meanes of those which you shall find in the CaÌ„ticles rayse vp your mynd I beseech you to those delightfull Sweetes wherwith the Saints doe embalme the Throne of the Lambe the odour of whose garments surpasse all aromaticall spices Those who in this world by their examplaire vertues haue bene a good odour in IESVS CHRIST and an odour of life to life shall be then so sweetly parfumed that our Sauiour will say vnto them as ISAAC did to IACOB behold the odour of my children like vnto that of a florishing feild and heaped with benedictions It shall not be enough for the sense of touching to be exeÌ„pt from paine by the priuiledge of impassibilitie but further though it be the grossest of all the Senses yet inriched with the dowrie of subtiltie Agilitie and brightnesse it shall haue also its particular delightes marrie such as are innocent for as is in the sacred Text there shall be no more marriages but euery one shall be as the Angells of God and as pure as the very sunne-beames although it be inuironed on euery side with a torrent of pleasures which shall penetrate men in more places then they haue pores in their bodie I omit the glorious mâ—arkes and particular contentmeÌ„ts of the bodies which might haue suffered paines and mortified themselues for the loue of God for as sinners shall be tormented according to their lawlesse pleasures so shall the Elect be rewarded according to their sufferances For which cause our Sauiour said you are happie when you are persecuted because your reward shall be plentifull in heauen For the loue of you said the Psalmistâ— speaking for the Saintes we haue bene mortified and led like sheepe to slaughter But Ã´ Lord saith the same how thy friendes haue bene afflicted and as the vulgaire translation hath honored how their principalitie that is their Glorie was confirmed And againe according to the multitude of their greeues consolations abounded in their Hearts O my wretched body what ought we not to endure herebelow to arriue at the tâ—oppe of such felicitie whither theâ— Saintes are come through
