this_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o word_n john_n 1.9_o yea_o this_o light_n it_o be_v the_o quaker_n contend_v for_o to_o be_v sufficient_a and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o comparative_a darkness_n to_o the_o second_o and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v not_o my_o word_n for_o the_o same_o paul_n uphold_v this_o distinction_n the_o gentile_n which_o know_v not_o god_n do_v by_o nature_n the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n where_o take_v notice_n what_o do_v paul_n mean_a by_o nature_n nothing_o else_o but_o the_o light_n they_o have_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o beast_n yet_o mark_v he_o say_v they_o know_v not_o god_n for_o all_o this_o light_n so_o 1_o cor._n 11.14_o do_v not_o nature_n teach_v you_o what_o can_v be_v more_o perspicuous_a then_o to_o signify_v the_o light_n which_o be_v

2.9_o 3._o light_n be_v that_o of_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o consummation_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o two_o former_a and_o this_o i_o understand_v by_o that_o word_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n john_n 8.12_o mark_v it_o speak_v in_o the_o future_a tense_n as_o if_o our_o life_n now_o be_v not_o

life_n without_o sin_n or_o any_o darkness_n at_o all_o now_o let_v none_o mis-understand_a i_o i_o do_v not_o say_v or_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v three_o light_n in_o god_n but_o a_o threefold_a degree_n of_o the_o same_o light_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v not_o nor_o heat_v not_o all_o over_o at_o first_o break_v forth_o so_o glorious_o as_o it_o do_v at_o noon_n as_o there_o be_v three_o light_n in_o the_o firmament_n yet_o they_o be_v from_o one_o so_o this_o threefold_a light_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v to_o manifest_v himself_o three_o way_n the_o first_o be_v under_o and_o before_o the_o law_n the_o second_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o three_o be_v in_o glory_n the_o first_o light_n make_v we_o man_n the_o second_o light_n make_v we_o christian_n man_n the_o three_o glorify_a man_n the_o first_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n the_o second_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o last_o bring_v

you_o may_v see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n what_o they_o maintain_v i_o shall_v take_v it_o into_o three_o part_n and_o answer_v the_o same_o 1._o they_o aver_v the_o scripture_n not_o to_o be_v god_n word_n and_o what_o reason_n they_o give_v be_v because_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o divers_a scripture_n but_o will_v it_o hence_o follow_v that_o we_o may_v not_o call_v the_o

that_o the_o measure_n god_n have_v give_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o salvation_n without_o any_o other_o mean_n or_o discovery_n as_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o only_a mean_n to_o salvation_n
