This Record of John evidently holds out the Quality of the Light to be of the Life a Pure Divine Heavenly and Essential Principle and the Universality of it in every Man And Paul was sent To turn People from Darkness which comprehends not the Light nor the Leadings and Operations thereof nor the Children of Light to the Light which comprehends Darkness and the Children of Darkness Acts 26.16 17 18.
