91
First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92
The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought that was formed with them, so that it might not lead them astray from life into death.
93
The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander and the punishment that awaits them.
94
The third order, they see the witness that he who formed them bears concerning them, that throughout their life they kept the law with which they were entrusted.
95
The fourth order, they understand the rest that they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory waiting for them in the last days.
