We have now found out the Light, and (blessed be God) above these fifty years we have found it: That if any should say (as Philip to Christ. Joh. 14. Lord show us the Father, 1and it sufficeth us. To whom Jesus answers. Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not known me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: So if any should say) Show us the Light, and it sufficeth us. I answer; Hast thou been so long in the Light, and hast thou not known it? Art thou one of that Country that, Apollonius writes of, that can see nothing in the day, but all in the night. Hath the Light made thee blind? If no other, the vicissitude of this Exercise Shows, that the Light is among us.
We haue now found out the Light, and (blessed be God) aboue these fiftie yeares we haue found it: That if any should say (as Philip to Christ. Ioh. 14. Lord shew vs the Father, 1and it sufficeth vs. To whom Iesus answers. Haue I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not knowne mee? Philip, hee that hath seene mee, hath seen the Father: So if any should say) Shew vs the Light, and it sufficeth vs. I answere; Hast thou been so long in the Light, and hast thou not knowne it? Art thou one of that Country that, Appollonius writes of, that can see nothing in the day, but all in the night. Hath the Light made thee blind? If no other, the vicissitude of this Exercise Shewes, that the Light is among vs.
I should trifle time to prove by arguments to the care, a thing so visible to the eye: and waste the Light of the day, to demonstrate the evidence of this Light being amongst us. Meditation and Wonder better become this subject, then discourse.
