the_o holy_a text_n by_o inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o consider_v that_o as_o after_o the_o three_o day_n the_o sun_n be_v make_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o world_n which_o before_o be_v enlighten_v without_o a_o sun_n so_o after_o many_o hundred_o year_n the_o lord_n place_v the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o then_o other_o holy_a write_n as_o a_o sun_n in_o the_o

in_o the_o former_a three_o day_n so_o you_o may_v consider_v that_o now_o the_o book_n of_o scripture_n be_v write_v and_o the_o light_n of_o god_n truth_n plentiful_o shine_v in_o they_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o unwritten_a tradition_n to_o give_v light_n unto_o we_o in_o any_o way_n or_o work_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o the_o dotage_n of_o the_o papist_n in_o

one_o word_n to_o the_o whole_a church_n scatter_v throughout_o the_o world_n and_o here_o see_v the_o absurdity_n of_o some_o unsound_a one_o among_o we_o who_o be_v more_o than_o half_a papist_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o condemn_v the_o study_n of_o those_o worthy_a write_n of_o many_o foreign_a divine_n upon_o this_o poor_a pretence_n because_o they_o live_v in_o other_o kingdom_n and_o

that_o we_o must_v have_v one_o in_o england_n and_o they_o another_o in_o france_n etc._n etc._n so_o if_o the_o sun_n of_o holy_a truth_n do_v shine_v in_o the_o write_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n why_o can_v we_o see_v and_o walk_v by_o this_o light_n as_o well_o as_o outlandish_a man_n 4._o consider_v that_o the_o light_n be_v still_o like_o itself_o that_o light_n which_o be_v before_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o that_o which_o now_o be_v in_o the_o sun_n so_o the_o truth_n and_o word_n of_o god_n be_v still_o the_o same_o not_o contrary_a to_o itself_o the_o light_n of_o holy_a truth_n which_o be_v before_o the_o word_n write_v and_o this_o which_o shine_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n be_v yet_o more_o shameless_a when_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o unwritten_a word_n they_o thrust_v upon_o the_o church_n such_o idle_a forgery_n as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n write_v as_o if_o light_n can_v be_v contrary_a to_o light_v or_o darkness_n may_v be_v call_v light_n if_o the_o light_n of_o the_o write_a word_n do_v show_v we_o that_o marriage_n be_v honourable_a among_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_o among_o the_o laity_n then_o know_v it_o be_v no_o beam_n of_o this_o heavenly_a light_n which_o make_v man_n think_v they_o see_v much_o sin_n and_o shame_n in_o it_o when_o it_o be_v use_v by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n but_o that_o it_o be_v even_o a_o dark_a vapour_n of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o so_o s._n paul_n say_v it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n if_o the_o word_n write_v by_o its_o light_n do_v show_v the_o worship_n perform_v to_o image_n to_o be_v gross_a and_o shameful_a idolatry_n than_o that_o doctrine_n which_o commend_v this_o as_o a_o special_a point_n of_o devotion_n and_o condemn_v to_o the_o fire_n those_o that_o refuse_v it_o can_v be_v any_o beam_n of_o light_n issue_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n unwritten_a but_o rather_o a_o dark_a shadow_n cause_v by_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n so_o you_o may_v think_v of_o many_o other_o popish_a foppery_n the_o sea_n the_o tree_n grass_n herb_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v on_o the_o three_o day_n appear_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o colour_n by_o that_o light_n which_o then_o be_v without_o a_o sun_n as_o th●●_n do_v afterward_o by_o the_o sun-light_n so_o those_o

by_o this_o sun_n so_o the_o lord_n who_o can_v have_v give_v we_o knowledge_n without_o a_o word_n preach_v and_o have_v teach_v we_o immediate_o by_o his_o spirit_n be_v please_v to_o set_v up_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o by_o it_o do_v require_v that_o we_o shall_v learn_v and_o profit_n by_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o we_o may_v neglect_v the_o word_n because_o god_n can_v teach_v we_o without_o it_o we_o must_v be_v teach_v as_o god_n will_v teach_v we_o and_o not_o as_o he_o can_v but_o will_v not_o god_n speak_v immediate_o to_o saul_n from_o heaven_n condemn_v his_o cruelty_n against_o the_o church_n but_o yet_o send_v he_o to_o a_o man_n to_o learn_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v the_o lord_n strike_v down_o a_o sinner_n with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o his_o wrath_n for_o sin_n but_o send_v he_o to_o man_n even_o to_o the_o preacher_n of_o his_o word_n to_o learn_v what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o therefore_o they_o who_o in_o regard_n of_o knowledge_n despise_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o think_v it_o needless_a may_v as_o well_o despise_v the_o sun_n in_o regard_n of_o outward_a light_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o body_n and_o think_v it_o may_v well_o be_v spare_v 6._o again_o consider_v that_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o his_o circuit_n pass_v from_o east_n to_o west_n so_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n issue_v by_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n from_o the_o east_n have_v come_v towards_o the_o west_n it_o be_v probable_o think_v that_o adam_n be_v create_v in_o the_o eastern_a part_n of_o the_o world_n to_o who_o the_o word_n be_v at_o first_o deliver_v however_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o jerusalem_n be_v eastward_o whence_o the_o law_n do_v issue_n and_o the_o gospel_n proceed_v unto_o these_o western_a part_n and_o now_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o this_o great_a day_n of_o the_o world_n this_o light_n be_v bend_v towards_o those_o poor_a

than_o at_o the_o first_o if_o you_o find_v this_o in_o yourselves_o let_v your_o heart_n smite_v you_o for_o it_o and_o be_v earnest_a with_o god_n to_o renew_v your_o affection_n to_o his_o word_n that_o you_o may_v gather_v a_o appeti●e_n by_o feed_v upon_o this_o heavenly_a manna_n and_o not_o like_o the_o carnal_a israelite_n begin_v to_o loathe_v it_o and_o to_o lust_n for_o grosser_n

bright_o so_o he_o that_o be_v in_o natural_a blindness_n can_v right_o see_v the_o divine_a virtue_n and_o save_a excellency_n of_o the_o word_n therefore_o call_v upon_o
