So Glorious a Light, that as the Sun dazzleth the eyes too steadfastly fixed on it: so his incomprehensible Majesty confounds all those, that too curiously pry into it.
So Glorious a Light, that as the Sunne dazeleth the eyes too stedfastly fixed on it: so his incomprehensible Maiestie confounds all those, that too curiously pry into it.
So Clear a Light, that he sees into all corners. The eyes of God are in every place,1 beholding the evil and the good. He searcheth more narrowly then the beams of the Sun: He sees Bribery in the Office, Adultery in the Closet, Fraud in the Shop, though the Pent-house makes it as dark as a room in Bedlam.

So Good a Light, that in him is no darkness; not so much as a shadow. There is none in him; there comes none from him. Indeed he made outward Darkness of Hell, the wages of sin: But he never made the inward Darkness of the Soul, which is sin.
