therefore_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n against_o this_o internal_a light_n the_o wicked_a rebel_n second_o there_o be_v a_o light_n of_o divine_a revelation_n which_o shine_v into_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o scripture_n or_o write_v word_n of_o god_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v so_o often_o call_v light_n in_o scripture_n that_o i_o need_v not_o give_v

against_o which_o they_o rebel_v understand_v god_n himself_o who_o be_v light_n as_o the_o apostle_n john_n call_v he_o 1_o ep_n 1.5_o and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o all_o that_o rebel_n against_o god_n must_v needs_o rebel_v against_o light_n see_v god_n be_v light_a and_o the_o very_a reason_n why_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o light_n of_o scripture_n be_v

and_o that_o light_n which_o be_v of_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v rebel_v against_o by_o wicked_a man_n see_v they_o most_o of_o all_o rebel_n against_o god_n who_o be_v light_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o it_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n john_n argue_v about_o love_n 1_o ep_v 5.1_o every_o one_o say_v he_o that_o love_v he_o that_o beget_v love_v he_o also_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o he_o so_o we_o
