the_o light_n and_o the_o light_n be_v christ_n within_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o this_o they_o speak_v who_o be_v witness_n of_o his_o inward_a appearance_n of_o his_o reveal_n himself_o in_o

rather_o than_o light_a because_o their_o deed_n be_v evil_a john_n 3.19_o this_o be_v salvation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v save_v and_o damnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v damn_v to_o wit_n the_o

that_o do_v attend_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o hate_v the_o light_n for_o the_o light_n make_v sin_n appear_v exceed_v sinful_a and_o dreadful_a to_o behold_v and_o they_o that_o be_v not_o
