gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v from_o they_o that_o perish_v who_o the_o god_n or_o rather_o the_o devil_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v we_o be_v in_o the_o light_n the_o way_n of_o truth_n

never_o the_o day_n of_o every_o man_n particular_a dissolution_n and_o the_o day_n of_o that_o general_a judgement_n of_o all_o man_n although_o the_o day_n of_o our_o death_n be_v uncertain_a yet_o

night_n be_v past_a the_o day_n draw_v on_o 28_o let_v we_o walk_v honest_o therefore_o as_o in_o the_o day_n day_n we_o be_v create_v and_o redeem_v to_o walk_v and_o serve_v god_n in_o who_o service_n if_o we_o go_v not_o forward_o we_o go_v backward_o we_o may_v neither_o lie_v down_o nor_o stand_v still_o but_o take_v pain_n and_o walk_v and_o that_o honest_o have_v our_o conversation_n according_a to_o our_o good_a profession_n we_o be_v set_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o stage_n the_o world_n angel_n and_o man_n fix_v their_o eye_n upon_o us._n and_o if_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o

upright_o and_o live_v honest_o as_o in_o his_o sight_n 29_o this_o we_o shall_v do_v if_o we_o follow_v the_o counsel_n and_o exhortation_n of_o s._n paul_n darkness_n that_o be_v if_o we_o first_o cast_v away_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n sinful_a action_n be_v call_v work_v of_o darkness_n first_o because_o much_o sin_n spring_v out_o of_o ignorance_n which_o be_v blindness_n and_o darkness_n wherefore_o s._n paul_n allege_v ignorance_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n second_o for_o that_o sinner_n because_o their_o work_n be_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n which_o discover_v they_o and_o love_v darkness_n wherein_o they_o may_v conceal_v they_o three_o because_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o that_o perpetual_a and_o

to_o put_v upon_o we_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n wherein_o look_v what_o be_v say_v why_o sin_n shall_v be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o darkness_n the_o like_a may_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n

be_v pure_a also_o and_o without_o offence_n unto_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n fill_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n which_o come_v by_o jesu_n christ_n unto_o the_o glory_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n second_o because_o they_o that_o walk_v honest_o as_o in_o the_o day_n time_n 1_o delight_n in_o the_o light_n for_o he_o that_o do_v the_o truth_n come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o his_o

that_o the_o night_n will_v come_v wherein_o no_o body_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o work_v while_o they_o have_v the_o light_n they_o give_v themselves_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n that_o they_o
