emphatical_o call_v the_o light_n and_o he_o that_o bring_v this_o wonderful_a discovery_n to_o the_o world_n be_v therefore_o himself_o style_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n enlighten_v every_o man_n come_v into_o it_o and_o yet_o though_o the_o gospel_n revelation_n be_v a_o great_a light_n in_o respect_n of_o all_o the_o discovery_n which_o be_v make_v before_o insomuch_o as_o the_o ancient_a father_n well_o observe_v the_o very_a child_n of_o christian_n be_v in_o their_o catechism_n teach_v to_o stammer_v forth_o great_a mystery_n and_o sublime_a truth_n than_o the_o wise_a philosopher_n can_v ever_o arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o yet_o this_o bright_a revelation_n be_v but_o dark_a in_o respect_n of_o vision_n we_o do_v as_o yet_o see_v but_o as_o through_o a_o glass_n dark_o we_o have_v a_o good_a right_n title_n and_o sure_a promise_n but_o promise_n be_v but_o glimpse_n in_o respect_n of_o enjoyment_n and_o that_o full_a possession_n with_o which_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v invest_v that_o therefore_o be_v well_o style_v a_o state_n of_o light_n because_o a_o state_n of_o most_o certain_a enlarge_a and_o exalt_a knowledge_n the_o state_n of_o this_o life_n be_v real_o a_o state_n of_o darkness_n we_o see_v but_o in_o part_n truth_n be_v infinite_a as_o god_n a_o small_a portion_n of_o it_o be_v allot_v we_o at_o present_a we_o know_v no_o more_o of_o it_o than_o god_n be_v please_v to_o let_v we_o into_o so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o entertain_v we_o here_o and_o to_o secure_v our_o eternal_a interest_n hereafter_o but_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o state_n i_o now_o complain_v of_o be_v what_o sin_n have_v bring_v upon_o our_o understanding_n disturb_v our_o judgement_n and_o possess_v we_o with_o infinite_a variety_n of_o wild_a and_o absurd_a opinion_n to_o that_o excess_n as_o that_o it_o have_v pass_v into_o a_o proverb_n so_o many_o man_n so_o many_o mind_n we_o may_v multiply_v much_o far_o for_o it_o be_v seldom_o long_o that_o the_o same_o man_n continue_v in_o the_o same_o mind_n a_o infallible_a argument_n of_o darkness_n for_o truth_n be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o whatever_o differ_v from_o that_o must_v be_v error_n and_o darkness_n the_o wise_a man_n be_v here_o observe_v to_o have_v their_o blind_a side_n some_o mistake_n for_o which_o they_o have_v be_v remark_v all_o man_n have_v mote_n in_o their_o eye_n some_o have_v beam_n it_o be_v too_o notorious_a what_o senseless_a error_n some_o have_v espouse_v the_o particular_n be_v innumerable_a and_o maintain_v with_o heat_n and_o fierceness_n to_o the_o great_a disturbance_n of_o the_o world_n and_o confusion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v something_o pardonable_a if_o we_o discover_v our_o weakness_n only_o in_o tattle_n and_o common_a conversation_n when_o we_o profess_v to_o unbend_v our_o soul_n but_o what_o abomination_n do_v we_o see_v in_o the_o very_a worship_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n what_o ridiculous_a folly_n and_o idolatry_n be_v to_o be_v find_v even_o at_o christian_a altar_n their_o understanding_n must_v needs_o want_v light_n that_o play_v the_o fool_n with_o their_o god_n when_o man_n will_v be_v think_v wise_a serious_n and_o profound_a how_o often_o do_v they_o betray_v the_o nakedness_n of_o their_o soul_n our_o very_a library_n be_v full_a of_o the_o blemish_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v too_o often_o stand_v monument_n of_o the_o defect_n of_o human_a understanding_n we_o smile_v and_o pity_v the_o rude_a ignorance_n or_o short-sightedness_n of_o those_o that_o go_v before_o we_o but_o their_o cause_n will_v be_v revenge_v trust_v a_o ill-natured_a world_n for_o it_o when_o those_o that_o follow_v we_o will_v laugh_v at_o we_o but_o the_o comfort_n be_v we_o live_v in_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a state_n of_o life_n when_o every_o man_n brain_n will_v be_v settle_v and_o all_o head_n set_v right_a when_o the_o messiah_n shall_v next_o appear_v he_o will_v infallible_o teach_v we_o all_o thing_n he_o will_v then_o conduct_v all_o those_o to_o a_o state_n of_o pure_a light_n and_o knowledge_n who_o by_o his_o grace_n he_o have_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o happiness_n all_o mist_n of_o error_n will_v then_o be_v scatter_v by_o a_o clear_a head_n a_o impartial_a reason_n and_o fervent_a charity_n a_o state_n of_o pure_a light_n and_o knowledge_n therefore_o i_o call_v it_o 1._o because_o there_o will_v be_v no_o body_n no_o worldly_a interest_n to_o cloud_v the_o light_n of_o the_o mind_n or_o disturb_v it_o in_o its_o reason_n no_o flesh_n and_o blood_n enter_v that_o kingdom_n for_o the_o natural_a body_n we_o be_v assure_v will_v be_v raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n by_o which_o phrase_n we_o can_v well_o understand_v less_o than_o a_o more_o refine_a a_o more_o exalt_a state_n of_o matter_n far_o remove_v from_o its_o original_a clay_n purify_v perhaps_o into_o light_n as_o near_o as_o possible_a into_o spirit_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o more_o suitable_a companion_n for_o the_o rational_a spirit_n of_o man_n a_o fit_a partner_n of_o its_o glory_n 2._o a_o state_n of_o pure_a light_n i_o call_v it_o because_o a_o state_n not_o of_o revelation_n but_o of_o vision_n in_o a_o state_n of_o revelation_n we_o know_v no_o more_o than_o the_o revealer_n be_v please_v to_o discover_v some_o glimpse_n only_o of_o thing_n the_o rest_n often_o reserve_v or_o wrap_v up_o as_o mystery_n but_o in_o heaven_n the_o saint_n be_v admit_v to_o see_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n the_o naked_a truth_n of_o thing_n then_o will_v be_v set_v to_o view_v the_o wonder_n of_o heaven_n the_o passage_n of_o providence_n which_o be_v at_o present_a a_o riddle_n will_v be_v explain_v the_o unfathomable_a depth_n of_o divine_a wisdom_n the_o unsearchable_a and_o at_o present_a inconceiveable_a riches_n of_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n will_v then_o be_v the_o entertainment_n of_o our_o soul_n the_o secret_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v lock_v up_o from_o eternity_n will_v then_o be_v lay_v open_a so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o creature_n will_v be_v make_v capable_a of_o know_v they_o or_o be_v make_v happy_a by_o they_o then_o may_v be_v infuse_v new_a idea_n into_o the_o understanding_n for_o the_o want_n of_o which_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v now_o therefore_o unintelligible_a may_v then_o be_v clear_a to_o our_o view_n a_o unity_n in_o trinity_n and_o a_o trinity_n in_o unity_n may_v possible_o then_o be_v understand_v 3._o a_o state_n of_o pure_a light_n and_o knowledge_n it_o will_v be_v because_o the_o saint_n be_v there_o admit_v into_o open_a and_o free_a converse_n with_o the_o wise_a and_o best_a of_o being_n with_o the_o renown_a worthy_n of_o all_o age_n all_o those_o depart_v soul_n that_o be_v wise_a unto_o salvation_n with_o that_o innumerable_a choir_n of_o holy_a and_o bless_a spirit_n the_o wise_a angel_n of_o god_n last_o they_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o omniscient_a god_n himself_o our_o knowledge_n of_o his_o creature_n which_o be_v but_o imperfect_a for_o it_o be_v but_o little_a that_o we_o know_v of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o they_o themselves_o but_o shadow_n of_o their_o maker_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o power_n give_v wonderful_a delight_n at_o present_a and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o ravish_a entertainment_n our_o reason_n be_v here_o acquaint_v with_o how_o transport_v then_o must_v that_o light_n be_v which_o show_v the_o creator_n himself_o face_n to_o face_n and_o give_v a_o close_a view_n of_o all_o his_o glorious_a attribute_n in_o substance_n in_o fullness_n and_o perfection_n where_o they_o live_v under_o the_o immediate_a and_o most_o powerful_a influence_n of_o they_o all_o have_v the_o most_o lively_a and_o comfortable_a sense_n of_o they_o continual_o inject_v into_o the_o mind_n for_o spirit_n seem_v to_o converse_v by_o infusion_n of_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n make_v he_o always_o communicative_a of_o himself_o if_o we_o now_o consider_v a_o thirsty_a soul_n a_o spirit_n that_o have_v a_o insatiable_a appetite_n after_o knowledge_n who_o thought_n be_v swift_a than_o lightning_n place_v not_o only_o in_o the_o prospect_n of_o but_o
