headdinesse_n or_o distemper_n so_o to_o sin_n against_o such_o a_o light_n in_o the_o sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v far_o more_o shameful_a than_o in_o the_o night_n 4._o see_v we_o man_n in_o

we_o see_v the_o great_a light_n drown_v the_o less_o and_o the_o sun_n obscure_v all_o other_o light_n and_o if_o man_n have_v the_o sun_n they_o care_v but_o little_a for_o the_o moon_n let_v it_o teach_v the_o soul_n clothe_v with_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n to_o tread_v the_o moon_n under_o foot_n revel_v 12_o 1._o that_o be_v thing_n earthly_a and_o mutable_a shall_v not_o the_o

other_o eye_n of_o the_o moon_n world_n and_o queen_n of_o heaven_n grace_n will_v draw_v much_o light_n to_o our_o soul_n out_o of_o this_o the_o consideration_n thereof_o will_v lead_v we_o to_o see_v our_o own_o impurity_n 1_o for_o though_o in_o it_o there_o be_v brightness_n clearness_n etc._n etc._n yet_o all_o be_v darkness_n compare_v with_o the_o sun_n so_o whatsoever_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v mere_a darkness_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o excellency_n this_o use_n job_n make_v thereof_o chap._n 25._o 4_o 5._o the_o moon_n and_o

on_o earth_n cant._n 6._o 10._o who_o be_v fair_a as_o the_o moon_n 1_o as_o the_o moon_n borrow_v all_o her_o light_n from_o the_o sun_n whereby_o she_o shine_v so_o do_v the_o church_n receive_v all_o her_o endowment_n from_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n and_o fountain_n of_o light_n in_o who_o they_o be_v original_o hence_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o light_n joh._n 1._o that_o be_v that_o very_o light_a and_o true_a light_n the_o church_n be_v only_o a_o witness_n of_o this_o light_n in_o he_o as_o the_o moon_n be_v of_o the_o sun_n this_o consideration_n may_v teach_v we_o two_o thing_n 1._o it_o may_v humble_v we_o in_o that_o all_o the_o light_n we_o have_v it_o be_v but_o borrow_a we_o of_o ourselves_o be_v but_o darkness_n what_o have_v we_o which_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v 2._o it_o teach_v we_o to_o depend_v so_o far_o on_o the_o light_n of_o the_o church_n as_o we_o be_v sure_o she_o borrow_v her_o light_n of_o christ._n therefore_o to_o give_v the_o church_n authority_n over_o the_o scripture_n be_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v send_v the_o sun_n to_o 4._o the_o moon_n for_o light_n therefore_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o the_o formal_a object_n of_o faith_n 2._o the_o moon_n somewhat_o do_v resemble_v the_o sun_n in_o her_o light_n motion_n figure_n and_o influence_n and_o virtue_n over_o herb_n and_o plant_n etc._n etc._n the_o moon_n also_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o sun_n she_o follow_v his_o circle_n so_o every_o member_n of_o christ_n shall_v stand_v in_o conformity_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v fruitful_a and_o profitable_a in_o our_o motion_n and_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v go_v before_o we_o 3._o as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o moon_n many_o change_n eclipse_n sometime_o 2_o dark_a sometime_o light_a never_o look_v on_o inferior_a body_n with_o one_o face_n constant_a in_o nothing_o but_o inconstancy_n so_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n be_v oft_o change_v sometime_o seem_v more_o glorious_a sometime_o less_o and_o the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n jesus_n christ_n be_v far_a or_o near_o unto_o it_o in_o his_o gracious_a presence_n and_o spirit_n this_o meditation_n saint_n ambrose_n do_v much_o ruminate_v 4._o as_o the_o moon_n when_o she_o appear_v not_o unto_o we_o but_o be_v in_o darkness_n have_v both_o light_n in_o etc._n herself_o and_o light_n and_o beauty_n from_o the_o sun_n so_o the_o church_n may_v be_v obscure_v and_o disappear_v to_o our_o sight_n but_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o have_v not_o only_o a_o be_v but_o a_o communion_n and_o enlighten_v from_o christ_n her_o sun_n christ_n be_v as_o a_o faithful_a and_o skilful_a pilot_n the_o church_n as_o a_o ship_n the_o world_n as_o the_o sea_n and_o christ_n have_v promise_v not_o to_o leave_v his_o church_n in_o this_o dangerous_a sea_n but_o to_o bring_v she_o to_o the_o haven_n safe_a saint_n ambrose_n follow_v this_o meditation_n thus_o the_o moon_n may_v have_v a_o diminution_n of_o her_o light_n but_o not_o of_o her_o body_n the_o orb_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v whole_a though_o the_o shine_n be_v but_o in_o one_o quarter_n so_o it_o be_v also_o with_o
