A79912	A single eye all light, no darkness; or light and darkness one: In which you have it purely discussed, 1. The original of darkness. 2. What darkness is. 3. Why it is called darkness. As also, what God is within, and what without; how he is said to be one, yet two; when two and not one, yet then one, and not two. Likewise a word from the Lord touching the onely resurrection of the body, in, from, and to the Lord. With a certain parcel of quaeries to be answered from Heaven or Hell, / This revealed in L.C. one of the Universality.

put_v on_o immortality_n that_o whereas_o before_o thou_o be_v alive_a to_o five_o and_o dead_a to_o one_o now_o thou_o shall_v be_v dead_a to_o five_o and_o alive_a to_o one_o that_o lovely_a pure_a

where_o be_v thy_o sting_n grave_a where_o be_v thy_o victory_n wonder_v not_o at_o i_o for_o without_o act_n without_o birth_n no_o powerful_a deliverance_n not_o only_o the_o talker_n but_o the_o doer_n not_o only_o your_o spirit_n but_o your_o body_n must_v be_v a_o live_n and_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n therefore_o till_o act_v that_o so_o call_v sin_n thou_o be_v not_o deliver_v from_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n but_o ready_a upon_o all_o alarm_n to_o tremble_v and_o fear_v the_o reproach_n of_o thy_o body_n therefore_o my_o beloved_a one_o that_o suppose_v your_o service_n be_v perfect_a

by_o other_o of_o his_o creation_n believe_v the_o query_n be_v then_o where_o its_o region_n have_v be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v i_o say_v if_o god_n admit_v of_o no_o corporal_a substance_n form_n

what_o he_o be_v confine_v from_o or_o confine_v in_o 2._o what_o it_o be_v that_o do_v confine_v god_n four_o if_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o can_v be_v confine_v then_o whether_o god_n be_v not_o

as_o christ_n yea_o sin_n devil_n or_o any_o other_o instrument_n whatsoever_o six_o whether_o a_o creature_n live_v in_o god_n so_o as_o to_o know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v not_o

now_o if_o scripture_n be_v indict_v by_o god_n the_o question_n will_v be_v why_o it_o speak_v not_o of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v in_o god_n but_o relate_v two_o distinct_a title_n two_o opposite_n

become_v blind_v divide_a yea_o destroy_v in_o worship_v that_o for_o god_n which_o in_o the_o original_a be_v no_o god_n i_o say_v the_o query_n will_v be_v whether_o the_o contradiction_n in_o the_o

you_o discover_v to_o you_o that_o the_o light_n in_o the_o creature_n be_v not_o the_o same_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o the_o appearance_n of_o light_n in_o i_o show_v i_o and_o that_o from_o

of_o the_o night_n to_o become_v the_o light_n of_o the_o day_n or_o it_o be_v the_o dark_a as_o in_o several_a portion_n of_o scripture_n be_v record_v yea_o it_o be_v intend_v that_o you_o call_v the_o darkness_n in_o the_o creature_n which_o darkness_n be_v sin_n hell_n and_o misery_n this_o darkness_n he_o will_v make_v light_n heaven_n and_o felicity_n for_o in_o god_n be_v no_o darkness_n

it_o be_v and_o why_o it_o be_v call_v darkness_n to_o this_o end_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o scripture_n a_o twofold_a power_n to_o wit_n more_o power_n than_o one_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n from_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v the_o connexion_n hereof_o run_v in_o the_o plural_a not_o power_n but_o power_n a_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o power_n of_o light_n a_o power_n in_o the_o wicked_a a_o power_n in_o the_o godly_a yet_o you_o have_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o same_o scripture_n but_o one_o god_n so_o then_o as_o it_o have_v be_v prove_v and_o i_o believe_v by_o you_o all_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o power_n of_o light_n life_n and_o salvation_n come_v from_o god_n the_o power_n that_o act_v in_o the_o godly_a have_v its_o rise_n from_o god_n but_o then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n that_o power_n in_o the_o wicked_a for_o in_o they_o be_v a_o great_a power_n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n i_o have_v see_v the_o wicked_a in_o great_a power_n instance_n the_o power_n in_o esau_n in_o pharaoh_n the_o power_n in_o herod_n and_o pilate_n by_o which_o they_o crucify_v christ_n from_o who_o come_v this_o power_n the_o scripture_n say_v from_o above_o to_o wit_n from_o god_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o darkness_n of_o sin_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sinful_a act_n to_o crucify_v christ_n that_o i_o know_v you_o will_v all_o conclude_v it_o be_v a_o wicked_a act_n and_o yet_o this_o act_n be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o

they_o gather_v together_o what_o to_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o thy_o hand_n and_o thy_o council_n determine_v before_o to_o be_v do_v well_o friend_n consider_v this_o power_n in_o pilate_n be_v a_o dark_a sinful_a power_n yet_o it_o come_v from_o god_n yea_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o be_v record_v i_o form_n light_n i_o create_v darkness_n i_o form_n peace_n i_o create_v evil_a so_o that_o let_v it_o be_v a_o power_n whatsoever_o in_o whosoever_o whether_o in_o flesh_n or_o spirit_n wicked_a or_o godly_a it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n yea_o come_v from_o god_n so_o that_o in_o time_n he_o will_v make_v this_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o power_n of_o light_n that_o whereas_o you_o have_v call_v and_o condemn_v one_o power_n for_o a_o dark_a sinful_a power_n you_o shall_v have_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o as_o now_o it_o be_v to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v a_o power_n of_o light_n for_o you_o hear_v this_o power_n come_v from_o god_n this_o power_n of_o darkness_n ye●●●d_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n so_o that_o consider_v though_o two_o power_n yet_o they_o have_v but_o one_o womb_n one_o birth_n ●o_o both_o twin_n both_o brethren_n as_o
