Christ is our wey, ledand and presenting us to the Fader; and forwith as the soule is infusid in the body, mercy and grace werkyn. And how the Second Person toke our sensualite to deliver us from duble deth. Fifty-fifth chapter.

And thus Criste is our wey, us sekirly ledand in His lawes, and Criste in His body mytyly berith us up into Hevyn. For I saw that Crist, us al havand in Him that shal be savid be Him, worshipfully presentith His Fader in Hevyn with us; which present ful thankfully His Fader receivith and curtesly gevith it to His Son Jesus Criste, which geft and werkyng is joye to the Fader and bliss to the Son and likyng to the Holy Gost. And of althyng that to us longith, it is most likyng to our Lord that we enjoyen in this joy which is in the blisfull Trinite of our salvation. And this was sen in the ninth shewing, wher it spekith more of this matter.

And notwithstanding al our feling, wo or wele, God will we understond and feithyn that we arn more verily in Hevyn than in erth. Our feith cummith of the kynd love of our soule, and of the cler lyte of our reson, and of the stedfast mend which we have of God in our first makyng. And what tyme that our soule is inspirid into our body, in which we arn made sensual, as swithe mercy and grace begynyth to werkyng, haveing of us cure and keping with pite and love; in which werkyng the Holy Gost formyth in our feith hope that we shal cum agen up aboven to our substance, into the vertue of Criste, incresid and fulfillid throw the Holy Ghost. Thus I understond that the sensualite is groundid in kind, in mercy, and in grace, which ground abylith us to receive gefts that leden us to endles life. For I saw full sekirly that our substance is in God. And also I saw that in our sensualite, God is; for the selfe poynte that our soule is mad sensual, in the selfe poynt is the cite of God, ordeynid to Him from withouten begynnyng, in which se He commith and never shall remove it. For God is never out of the soule in which He wonen blisfully without end. And this was sen in the sixteenth shewing wher it seith, the place that Jesus takith in our soule, He shal never remov it.

And all the gefts that God may geve to cretures, He hath geven to His Son, Jesus, for us, which gefts he, wonand in us, hath beclosid in Him into the time that we be waxen and growne - our soule with our body, and our body with our soule, neyther of hem takeing help of other, till we be browte up into stature as kynd werkyth. And than in the ground of kind, with werkyng of mercy, the Holy Gost graciously inspirith into us gifts ledand to endless life.

And thus was my understondyng led of God to sen in Him and to understonden, to weten and to knowen, that our soule is made trinite - like to the onmade blisfull Trinite, knowen and lovid fro without begynnyng, and in the makyng unyd to the Maker, as it is afornseid. This syte was full swete and mervelous to beholden, pesible and restfull, sekir and delectabil. And for the worshipfull onyng that was thus made of God betwix the soule and body, it behovith needs to ben that mankynd shal be restorid from duble deth, which restoring might never be into the time that the Second Person in the Trinite had takyn the lower party of mankynde to whom the heyest was onyd in the first makyng. And these two partes were in Criste, the heyer and the lower, which is but on soule. The heyer part was on in peace with God in full joy and bliss. The lower partie, which is sensualite, suffrid for the salvation of mankynd. And these two partes were seene and felt in the eighth shewing in which my body was fulfillid of feling and mynd of Crists passion and His deth. And ferthermore, with this was a sotil feling and privy inward syte of the hey parte that I was shewed in the same tyme, wher I myte not, for the mene profir, lokyn up onto Hevyn, and that was for that mytye beholdyng of the inward lif, which inward lif is that hey substance, that pretious soule, which is endlesly enjoyand in the Godhede.
