BOOK THIRTEEN
CHAPTER XXXVI
51. But the seventh day is without an evening, and it has no setting, for thou hast sanctified it with an everlasting duration. After all thy works of creation, which were very good, thou didst rest on the seventh day, although thou hadst created them all in unbroken rest–and this so that the voice of thy Book might speak to us with the prior assurance that after our works–and they also are very good because thou hast given them to us–we may find our rest in thee in the Sabbath of life eternal.[653]
