1. Unjust things love privacy: the Adulterer saith Job, loves the dark. Thais draws Paphnutius into the secret, and more removed chambers. The two wicked Elders thus tempt that Emblem of chastity; Ostia pomerij clausa sunt: the gates of the Orchard are shut; and no body sees us. Hence the generation of sins are called sthe works of darkness. And reformation of life is compared to our tdecent walking in the day. Though vthe light of grace shines, saith the Sun of brightness, yet men love darkness better, because their deeds are evil. Ignorance and the Night have a fit similitude.
1. Vniust things loue priuacie: the Adulterer saith Iob, loues the darke. Thais drawes Paphnutius into the secret, and more remoued chambers. The two wicked Elders thus tempt that Embleme of chastitie; Ostia pomerij clausa sunt: the gates of the Orchyard are shut; and no body sees vs. Hence the generation of sinnes are called sthe workes of darkenesse. And reformation of life is compared to our tdecent walking in the day. Though vthe light of grace shines, saith the Sunne of brightnesse, yet men loue darkenesse better, because their deeds are euill. Ignorance and the Night haue a fit similitude.
