5. Paul was an heaven, when he says, _Our conversation is in heaven_. James and John were heavens; they are called _sons of thunder_; and therefore being as it were, an heaven, John saw _the Word with God_. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was an heaven of perpetual light, when He told forth the glory of God, that glory which no man had before beheld. And therefore He said, _No man hath seen God at any time, but the Only-Begotten Son, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him_. Moreover, if you look for the handiwork of God, hear what Job says, _The Spirit of God hath made me_. And so, strengthened against the temptations of the devil, he preserved his steps stedfast and without stumbling. But let us proceed to what follows. Sidenote: Ps. xix. 2. 6. _Day unto day_, the Psalm says, _uttereth speech_. These are the true _days_, which no shades of night obscure; these are the true _days_, full of light and eternal radiance, who have _uttered the word_ of God not by any mere transient utterance but from their inmost heart, continuing constant in their confession, persevering in their testimony. Sidenote: Ps. cxiii. 5, 6. Sidenote: Ps. cxiii. 7, 8. Sidenote: Ib. 9. 7. Another Psalm we read saith, _Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath His dwelling so high, and yet regardeth the lowly things that are in heaven and earth_. Truly God hath _regarded the lowly_, Who hath discovered the relics of the martyrs of His Church as they lay hid under the unnoted sod, of those whose souls are in heaven, while their bodies are in the earth, _taking up the simple out of the dust and lifting the poor out of the mire_, even those whom ye see, _to set them with the princes of His people_. For whom but the holy martyrs shall we deem to be _princes of the people_? In their number Protasius and Gervasius heretofore long unknown are enrolled, they who have caused the Church of Milan, once _barren_ of martyrs, but now _the mother of many children_, to exult both in the honors and examples of her own sufferings? Sidenote: 1 Cor. xv. 41. 8. Nor let this be considered alien from the true Faith: _Day unto day uttereth speech_, soul to soul, life to life, resurrection to resurrection. _And night unto night uttereth knowledge_, that is, flesh to flesh, the flesh whose sufferings have declared to all the true knowledge of faith. Bright and fair nights, full of stars: _For one star differeth from another star in glory, so also is the resurrection of the dead_.
