of_o the_o night_n be_v for_o when_o it_o fall_v it_o cover_v all_o the_o whole_a world_n darkness_n the_o colour_n and_o fashion_n of_o all_o creature_n captivate_v all_o man_n and_o beast_n live_v that_o they_o must_v be_v still_o and_o rest_v yea_o and_o make_v they_o fainthearted_a and_o fearful_a and_o so_o of_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o mighty_a invincible_a tyrant_n who_o no_o man_n may_v withstand_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o mighty_a that_o it_o can_v darken_v overwhelm_v and_o quench_v the_o least_o light_n that_o be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o dark_a the_o night_n be_v the_o clear_a do_v the_o star_n shine_v yea_o the_o least_o candle_n light_n that_o be_v light_v withstand_v the_o whole_a night_n and_o suffer_v not_o only_o the_o darkness_n not_o to_o cover_v or_o oppress_v it_o but_o give_v light_n even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o darkness_n and_o smite_v it_o back_o a_o certain_a space_n on_o every_o side_n &_o where_o it_o be_v bear_v thence_o must_v darkness_n depart_v and_o give_v place_n unto_o the_o light_n all_o the_o power_n and_o fearfulness_n thereof_o can_v not_o help_v against_o it_o and_o though_o a_o light_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o it_o give_v not_o light_v far_o above_o it_o neither_o can_v smite_v the_o darkness_n back_o as_o the_o spark_n of_o a_o hot_a coal_n yet_o can_v not_o the_o darkness_n cover_v it_o much_o less_o quench_v it_o but_o it_o give_v light_v itself_o alone_o so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v a_o far_o off_o in_o the_o darkness_n and_o remain_v unovercome_v of_o the_o same_o though_o it_o can_v help_v other_o thing_n nor_o give_v light_n unnto_fw-mi they_o yea_o that_o yet_o more_o wonderful_a be_v a_o rot_a shine_a piece_n of_o wood_n which_o nevertheless_o have_v the_o faynt_a light_n that_o can_v be_v find_v remain_v invincible_a of_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o more_o it_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o darkness_n the_o clear_a light_n it_o give_v so_o little_o can_v darkness_n overcome_v or_o hold_v down_o any_o light_n but_o it_o rule_v vanquisheth_z and_o expel_v the_o darkness_n which_o else_o overwhelm_v snare_v and_o put_v all_o thing_n in_o fear_n even_o so_o likewise_o do_v a_o well_o spring_v also_o for_o there_o may_v we_o see_v how_o a_o little_a vain_a of_o water_n break_v out_o of_o the_o groundsome_a where_o scarce_o so_o great_a as_o a_o finger_n and_o when_o it_o be_v close_v in_o round_o about_o that_o the_o water_n may_v gather_v together_o and_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o ditch_n or_o a_o pit_n yet_o spring_v it_o nevertheless_o and_o though_o the_o water_n be_v certain_a hundred_o weight_n above_o the_o spring_n yet_o may_v not_o it_o drive_v the_o spring_n back_o but_o the_o spring_n drive_v the_o whole_a burden_n of_o the_o water_n back_o and_o above_o itself_o and_o spring_v still_o more_o and_o more_o till_o the_o pool_n flow_v over_o and_o if_o the_o other_o water_n be_v foul_a and_o unclean_a it_o can_v mi●e_v itself_o under_o the_o fresh_a clear_a water_n of_o the_o spring_n but_o it_o remain_v clear_a till_o it_o come_v far_o abroad_o from_o the_o first_o head_n thereof_o as_o it_o may_v well_o be_v prove_v by_o daily_a experience_n if_o a_o natural_a light_n then_o be_v so_o mighty_a against_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n and_o a_o earthen_a well_o spring_n so_o strong_a in_o stryve_v against_o all_o stand_a water_n how_o much_o more_o do_v it_o then_o the_o true_a everlasting_a and_o heavenly_a light_n and_o the_o only_a invinsible_a spring_n of_o all_o life_n namely_o god_n the_o lord_n our_o maker_n and_o saviour_n that_o god_n be_v the_o true_a everlasting_a and_o heavenly_a light_n witness_v john_n the_o evangelist_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n and_o say_v god_n be_v the_o word_n in_o he_o be_v the_o life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n likewise_o also_o in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n god_n be_v light_n and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n in_o like_a manner_n that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a invincible_a spring_n of_o all_o life_n witness_v the_o prophet_n jeremie_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n for_o there_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o people_n commit_v a_o double_a sin_n they_o forsake_v i_o the_o live_a spring_n of_o life_n and_o make_v themselves_o fair_a well_n which_o nevertheless_o give_v no_o water_n and_o david_n say_v in_o the_o xxxv_o psalm_n with_o thou_o be_v the_o spring_n of_o life_n and_o in_o thy_o light_n see_v we_o light_v if_o god_n the_o lord_n then_o be_v the_o true_a light_n it_o follow_v that_o all_o they_o which_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o be_v as_o a_o burn_a candle_n for_o by_o faith_n do_v god_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o we_o be_v the_o live_a temple_n of_o god_n as_o paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n do_v witness_v more_o than_o once_o therefore_o say_v christ_n of_o his_o disciple_n math._n 5._o you_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o john_n the_o baptist_n he_o be_v a_o burn_n and_o shine_a light_n john_n 5._o likewise_o if_o god_n be_v the_o everlasting_a and_o live_a fountain_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v even_o flow_a spring_n therefore_o say_v christ_n also_o john_n 7._o who_o so_o believe_v on_o i_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v out_o of_o his_o body_n shall_v flow_v stream_n of_o live_a water_n but_o this_o he_o say_v of_o the_o spirit_n which_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v receive_v like_a as_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n now_o can_v hurt_v no_o earthly_a or_o worldly_a light_n but_o must_v give_v place_n and_o fly_v from_o the_o light_n even_o so_o say_v satan_n also_o which_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o spiritual_a darkness_n can_v do_v no_o harm_n to_o a_o true_a right_a beléeve_a christian_a man_n but_o must_v fear_v and_o fly_v from_o he_o for_o god_n which_o be_v the_o everlasting_a light_n dwell_v &_o shine_v in_o his_o hart_n and_o drive_v and_o expel_v far_o from_o he_o all_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n and_o like_v as_o no_o heap_n of_o water_n can_v drive_v back_o any_o fountain_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o hinder_v the_o quick_a spring_n thereof_o and_o like_a as_o no_o uncleanness_n can_v make_v it_o foul_a even_o so_o also_o can_v no_o adversity_n of_o this_o world_n take_v away_o or_o shorten_v any_o christian_a man_n life_n for_o god_n which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o life_n dwell_v and_o live_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o drive_v all_o hurtful_a poison_n and_o mortal_a sickness_n far_o away_o from_o thence_o so_o that_o not_o only_o it_o can_v not_o harm_v he_o but_o he_o also_o help_v other_o people_n and_o deliver_v they_o by_o his_o presence_n even_o as_o a_o light_n that_o shine_v far_o about_o it_o and_o as_o a_o spring_n that_o always_o flow_v run_v and_o make_v the_o ground_n moist_a and_o fruitful_a and_o this_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o last_o of_o mark_n the_o token_n that_o shall_v follow_v they_o which_o believe_v be_v these_o in_o my_o name_n shall_v they_o cast_v out_o devil_n speak_v with_o new_a tongue_n drive_v away_o serpent_n and_o if_o they_o drink_v any_o deadly_a thing_n it_o shall_v not_o hurt_v they_o they_o shall_v lay_v hand_n upon_o the_o sick_a and_o they_o shall_v recover_v so_o be_v it_o read_v also_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o v._o chapter_n that_o the_o sick_a be_v make_v whole_a only_o of_o saint_n peter_n shadow_n so_o utter_o must_v we_o vanish_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a &_o against_o the_o everlasting_a light_n and_o springe_n of_o life_n where_o a_o right_a christian_a man_n be_v in_o who_o god_n dwell_v by_o a_o true_a belief_n and_o out_o of_o who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shine_v and_o flow_v let_v satan_n then_o press_v in_o here_o with_o all_o his_o darkness_n and_o with_o all_o his_o hurtful_a infection_n yet_o shall_v you_o see_v in_o belief_n that_o he_o can_v not_o take_v or_o destroy_v any_o christian_a man_n therewith_o if_o he_o continue_v in_o faith_n &_o keep_v god_n in_o his_o hart_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v smite_v back_o and_o drive_v away_o by_o force_n as_o the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o all_o saint_n do_v manifest_o declare_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n for_o a_o christian_n man_n to_o be_v afraid_a for_o the_o plague_n of_o the_o pestilence_n as_o to_o fly_v from_o they_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v by_o god_n commandment_n for_o by_o reason_n he_o shall_v without_o all_o fear_n make_v haste_n unto_o they_o not_o only_o to_o fulfil_v god_n commandment_n but_o also_o by_o his_o presence_n to_o help_v they_o if_o their_o faith_n do_v else_o
