Original Douay–Rheims AnnotationsRevelation 21

Pure gold.

S. Gregory (li. 18. Moral. c. 23) saith, the heavenly state is resembled to gold, precious stone, crystal, glass, and the like, for the purity, clarity, glittering of the glorious bodies: ^◦ where one man's body, conscience, and cogitations are represented to another, as corporal things in this life are seen through crystal or glass.

• ◦ The state of glorified bodies.
