"'Enter into the joy of thy Lord'"

since no creature has the capacity for the infinite joy in his infinite goodness that the infinite God both [1] is up for and [2] does in fact experience, "it follows that this perfectly full joy is not taken into man, but, on the contrary, [that] man enters into it, according to Matt. 25:21: Enter into the joy of thy Lord."

"Quia tamen nulla creatura est capax gaudii de Deo ei condigni, inde est quod illud gaudium omnino plenum non capitur in homine, sed potius homo intrat in ipsum, secundum illud Matth. XXV, intra in gaudium domini tui."
