In our substance we aren full; in our sensualite we faylyn, which God will restore be mercy and grace. And how our kinde which is the heyer part is knitt to God in the makyng, and God, Jesus, is knitt to our kind in the lower part in our flesh takyng. And of feith spryngyn other vertues; and Mary is our Moder. Fifty-seventh chapter.

And anempts our substance, He made us nobil and so rich that evermore we werkyn His will and His worship. There I say "we," it menith man that shall be savid. For sothly I saw that we arn that He lovith and don that He lekyth lestingly withouten ony stynting. And of the gret riches and of the hey noble, vertues be mesur come to our soule what tyme it is knitt to our body, in which knitting we arn made sensual. And thus in our substance we arn full and in our sensualite we faylyn, which faylyng God will restore and fulfill be werkyng mercy and grace plenteously flowand into us of His owne kynd godhede. And thus His kinde godhede makith that mercy and grace werkyn in us, and the kind godhede that we have of Him abilith us to receive the werking of mercy and grace.

I saw that our kind is in God hole, in which He makyth diverssetis flowand out of Him to werkyn His will, whom kind kepith, and mercy and grace restorith and fulfillith. And of these non shall perishen. For our kind which is the heyer part is knitt to God in the makyng, and God is knitt to our kinde, which is the lower partie in our flesh takyng, and thus in Crist our two kinds are onyd. For the Trinite is comprehendid in Criste in whome our heyer partie is groundid and rotid; and our lower partie, the Second Person hath taken, which kynd first to Him was adyte. For I saw full sekirly that all the workes that God hath done, or ever shall, wer ful knowen to Him and afornseen from without begynning. And for love He made mankynd, and for the same love Himself wold be man.

The next good that we receive is our feith, in which our profittyng begynnyth; and it commith of the hey riches of our kinde substance into our sensual soule. And it is groundid in us, and we in that, throw the kynde goodness of God be the werking of mercy and grace; and therof commen al other goods be which we arn led and savid. For the commandements of God commen therein, in which we owe to have two manner of understondyng, which are His bidding, to love them and to kepyn. That other is that we owe to knowen His forbyddings, to haten and to refusen. For in these two is all our werkyn comprehendid. Also in our feith commen the seven sacraments, ech folowing other in order as God hath ordeyned hem to us, and al manner of vertues. For the same vertues that we have receivid of our substance, gevyn to us in kinde be the goodness of God, the same vertues be the werkyng of mercy arn geven to us in grace throw the Holy Gost renued, which vertues and gyfts are tresurd to us in Jesus Christ. For in that ilk tyme that God knitted Him to our body in the Maydens womb, He toke our sensual soule; in which takyng, He us al haveyng beclosid in Him, He onyd it to our substance, in which onyng He was perfect man.

For Criste, havyng knitt in Him ilk man that shall be savid, is perfit man.

Thus our Lady is our Moder in whome we are all beclosid and of hir borne in Christe, for she that is moder of our Savior, is moder of all that shall be savid in our Savior. And our Savior is our very moder in whom we be endlesly borne and never shall come out of Him. Plenteously and fully and swetely was this shewid. And it is spoken of in the first wher he seith we arn all in Him beclosid and He is beclosid in us, and that is spoken of in the sixteenth shewing wher it seith He sittith in our soule. For it is His likeyng to reygne in our understonding blisfully, and sitten in our soule restfully, and to wonen in our soule endlesly, us al werkeng into Hym, in which werkyng He will we ben His helpers, gevyng to Him al our entendyng, lerand His loris, kepyng His lawes, desirand that al be done that He doith, truely trosting in Hym. For sothly I saw that our substance is in God.
