There is no better comparison to be made, M. Harding, then between Light, and Darkness: Truth, and Falsehood: Christ, and Belial. For one of these contraries doth evermore bewray the other. And therefore Christ saith,1 He that doth il, hateth the Light, and cometh not to it: lest his evil doings should be espied. And this is it, M. Harding, that you so carefully keep the people from the Light of God's word: 2lest by comparison thereof, they should begin to loth your Darkness. Pliny saith, Tritico reperto, continuò damnatum est Hordeum, & quadrupedum refectibus traditum: As soon as Wheat was once found (by comparison thereof) straight way Barley was refused, and given to Cattle to feed upon.
