32. But why do we doubt? The Church
hath believed in His goodness all these ages, and hath confessed its
faith in the saying: “Let Him kiss me with the kisses of
His mouth; for thy breasts are better than wine;” Song of Solomon i. 1. and again: “And thy throat
is like the goodliest wine.” Of His goodness, therefore, He
nourisheth us with the breasts of the Law and Grace, soothing
men’s sorrows with telling them of heavenly things; and do we,
then, deny His goodness, when He is the manifestation of goodness,
expressing in His Person the likeness of the Eternal Bounty, even as we
showed above that it was written, that He is the spotless reflection
and counterpart of that Bounty? Song vii. 9.
