1. Rejoice in this Light, ver 24. This is the Light-day that the Lord hath made: let us Rejoice and be glad in it: Not for a spurt,1 as the Stony ground▪ Math. 13. that with Joy receives the Sermon; but goes home as stony-hearted, as Judas after the Sop. Nor as the Jews, to whom John Baptist was a burning and a shining Lamp: 2and they for a season, rejoiced in his light: But afterwards never rested, till they had eclipsed the Sun on the Cross, and slain his Morning-star in the Prison. Nor as Children, that come abroad to play in the Sunshine, and make no more account of it. Nor as a people, that never saw the Sun, steppe out of their doors to gaze upon it, and then turn their backs on it. But Rejoice with a solid joy, as they whom God hath brought out of darkness, into his marvellous light.

Nor as Children, that come abroad to play in the Sunshine, and make no more account of it. Nor as a people, that neuer saw the Sunne, steppe out of their doores to gaze vpon it, and then turne their backes on it. But Reioyce with a solid ioy, as they whom God hath brought out of darknesse, into his marueylous light.
