Use of comma
I have been given the following section, and I need to identify the grammatical errors.
He called it “but a mortal veil,” one that he had vowed to wear in this present life, but could be removed forever in heavenly eternity.
Is the comma after the word "life" to be omitted?
Kindly explain

I would write it like this, to give a more explicit subject to could be removed. I see no reason for a comma, ie a pause, after life. He called it “but a mortal veil,” one that he had vowed to wear in this present life but that could be removed forever in heavenly eternity.
