Michal had no child […] the day of her death: and it […], she had none afterwards. But now, when (until) is used by way of Precept, it always defines, and determines. Ambala donec ulam persolveris, then thou shalt rest. Pugna dones viteris, fight till thou overcome, then have peace, Rev. 2.25. That you have already, hold fast till I come, Eph. 4.13. The Lord sends Preachers to edify the Church, until we all mere to a perfect mine: then shall that office cease. So here, attend to the light of Prophecy, until the day down, until you come to that full day of glory in heaven. So that the point of doctrine intends the difference, between that measure of knowledge which Gods grace also Jesus in our pilgrimage: and that measure which his glory shall endue us with in the kingdom of heaven. For method of tractation, first let us consider the light in general; and then pass through the degrees of it, till we ascend to the perfection.
