F. sure meaneth what he speaks of viz. Every mans light and this he saith is pure Can it bee pure and not purifie and renew Ib.

And in another translation saith that he is the express figure of the Fathers substance The Popish English Rhemists Ib.

As God is so is his light and so is his Godhead not created c. God's own essential light is uncreated and his very nature The light that Adam was qualified with before the Fall and which every man as a man hath a spark of since the Fall was and is given from the Creation and by the things that are made Read Rom. 1.20 and believe Ibid. In page 64. saying Light without Scripture is no light i. e. Besides or not according to Scripture as is explained in that page Ibid.

As page 68. he saith That God was and is the Word according to Joh 1.1 I said not so nor is it so exprest Joh. 1.1 But the Word was and is God yet God the Father is not the Word Ib.
