while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
while þat we biholden not tho thingis þat ben seyn, but tho þat ben not seyn. For tho thingis þat ben seyn, ben but durynge for a schort tyme; but tho thingis þat ben not seyn, ben euerlastynge.
