But before examining this more carefully, and at the same time seeking or other truths inferable from this, I wish to stay a little in the contemplation of God; to meditate within myself on his attributes; to behold, wonder at adore the beauty of this immeasurable Light, so far as the eyes of my darkened understanding can bear it. For just as we believe that the supreme happiness of another life consists merely in this contemplation of the Divine Majesty; so even now the same contemplation, though much less perfect, makes us aware that we can get from it the greatest joy of which we are capable in this life.
