Bonaventure, on Sir 24:6

“I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:”

“I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth. That is, in heavenly men, a firm light of faith. The threefold heavens refer to a threefold vision: purely intellectual, intellectual combined with imaginary, and intellectual combined with manifest bodily vision. The first is found in the minds of angels, the second in the minds of prophets, and the third in the minds of the apostles. The certainty of Scriptures consists in the concurrence of these visions.”
