Again S. 1Bernard saith, Pudeat Successors Apostolorum Lucem non esse Mundi, sed Modij: Mundi autem tenebras. Dicamus eis, Vos estis tenebrae Mundi: ⟨p. 463⟩Let it shame the Successors of the Apostles not to be the Light of the World, but the Light of the Bushel: and rather the Darkness of the World. Let us therefore say unto them, ye are the Darkness of the World.
Againe S. 1Bernarde saithe, Pudeat Successores Apostolorum Lucem non esse Mundi, sed Modij: Mundi autem tenebras. Dicamus eis, Vos estis tenebrae Mundi: ⟨p. 463⟩Let it shame the Successours of the Apostles not to be ye Lighte of the Worlde, but the Light of the Busshel: and rather the Darkenesse of the VVorlde. Let vs therefore saie vnto them, yee are the Darkenesse of the VVorlde.
- 1Bernard in Cantica, Sermo. 66.
Through these spectacles we may behold the state of the Church of Rome. For Christ saith, 1If the Light it self, that is in thee, be made Darkness, how great then will the Darkness it self be? How can the City be kept in safety, if the Watchman be blind, and see nothing? If the Blind lead the Blind, both fall into the pit.2 Christ saith, Dormientibus illis, creverunt Zizania: While the Husbandmen were asleep, then the Cockle, and Darnel grew. S. Hilary saith, Ecclesiae, intra quas Verbum non vigilat, naufragae sunt: The Churches, wherein God's Word watcheth not, suffer shipwreck, and are drowned.
