therefore_o necessary_a to_o speak_v to_o they_o several_o that_o in_o ephes_n 2.12_o plain_o affirm_v that_o before_o conversion_n they_o be_v without_o god_n and_o without_o christ_n in_o the_o

world_n when_o i_o live_v in_o sinful_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n with_o greediness_n i_o live_v then_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o without_o any_o awful_a respect_n to_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v as_o true_o affirm_v that_o at_o that_o time_n the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o i_o testify_v against_o my_o iniquity_n and_o this_o may_v seem_v a_o mystery_n that_o a_o measure_n of_o his_o light_n shall_v be_v within_o a_o man_n when_o that_o man_n be_v without_o christ_n yet_o i_o have_v experience_v the_o truth_n hereof_o and_o therefore_o testify_v that_o its_o one_o thing_n for_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v in_o a_o man_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v in_o a_o man_n and_o yet_o that_o man_n out_o of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n whereupon_o i_o

if_o reprobate_n be_v take_v in_o this_o place_n for_o such_o as_o god_n have_v give_v up_o cast_v off_o and_o reject_v yet_o do_v not_o this_o prove_v but_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v once_o

know_v will_v suffice_v in_o answer_n to_o satisfy_v the_o unprejudiced_a concern_v those_o place_n of_o scripture_n answ_n 2._o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o thus_o to_o judge_n because_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o as_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o so_o have_v this_o grace_n appear_v to_o all_o for_o he_o have_v enlighten_v all_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o save_v all_o that_o yield_v obedience_n to_o and_o embrace_v the_o tender_v of_o his_o boundless_a endless_a unlimited_a universal_a love_n to_o mankind_n without_o exception_n and_o this_o we_o be_v very_o persuade_v of_o from_o these_o and_o such_o like_a consideration_n 1._o because_o god_n be_v no_o

dark_a ignorant_a unclean_a and_o unbelieving_a heart_n before_o conversion_n be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o which_o we_o live_v and_o abide_v since_o our_o conversion_n that_o which_o former_o stand_v

abide_v in_o his_o light_n witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o which_o cause_v trouble_n restlessness_n and_o terror_n when_o we_o live_v in_o unbelief_n rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n be_v the_o same_o which_o cause_v calmness_n stillness_n settlement_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o bring_v forth_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o our_o soul_n since_o we_o have_v believe_v &_o continue_v obedient_a thereto_o that_o very_a light_n which_o before_o convince_v reprove_v judge_v &_o condemn_v we_o for_o all_o unbelief_n and_o unrighteousness_n both_o in_o heart_n &_o life_n be_v still_o the_o same_o which_o do_v convert_v confirm_v cleanse_v justify_v and_o save_v yea_o that_o light_n which_o before_o shine_v in_o darkness_n and_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o which_o after_o it_o be_v believe_v and_o obey_v do_v expel_v and_o lead_v out_o of_o darkness_n that_o the_o light_n which_o before_o be_v eclipse_v may_v now_o so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o see_v our_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n wherefore_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o thus_o to_o judge_v that_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n who_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o obey_v he_o because_o when_o we_o be_v as_o vile_a as_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n we_o can_v witness_v that_o the_o same_o light_n which_o do_v then_o shine_v in_o darkness_n do_v now_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n whereof_o we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a 3._o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n who_o can_v lie_v have_v say_v that_o man_n condemnation_n arise_v only_o from_o the_o contempt_n of_o and_o disobedience_n to_o this_o light_n say_v this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n light_n be_v come_v into_o

the_o soul_n &_o conscience_n of_o earthly_a worldly-minded_n and_o unbelieving_a man_n and_o woman_n and_o they_o who_o love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_n can_v escape_v condemnation_n
