CHAPTER XXIV
AROUSE thyself, O my soul, and stir up thine understanding and consider so far as thou canst what and how great is this Good. 40For if particular good things are delightful,
consider earnestly how delightful must be that
Good which comprehendeth the pleasantness of
all particular goods; and that in a pleasantness
not such as we have known by experience in
things created, but surpassing that no less than
the Creator surpasseth the creature. For if the
life that is created be good, how good must be
the Life that createth! If health that is made
be pleasant, how pleasant must be that Health
that is the cause of all health! If the wisdom
be desirable that consisteth in the knowledge
of things created, how desirable must be the
Wisdom that wrought all things of nothing.
Lastly, if there be many great delights in things
delightful, what manner of delight and how great
must these be in Him who made those very
things themselves that are so delightful.
