S. Basil saith, The light was in the world before the Sun was made. Therefore it was, 1and had his Being without the Sonne. His words stand thus: Aliud ⟨p. 439⟩quidem est, &c. The brightness of the light is one thing, and the Body Subject unto the same (that is the Sun) is an other thing. And say not now unto me: It is impossible to divide these things a sunder For I say not, that thou, or I can possibly divide the Body of the Sun from the Light. Yet notwithstanding the things, that we may part a sunder only by Imagination, the same things God the Creator of Nature, is able to sunder verily, and in deed. Hereof M. Harding gathereth his reasons thus: The Light was not in the Sun: Ergo, It was in Nothing. It was not in the Sun: Ergo, It was not in the Air. It was not in the Sun: Ergo, It was an Accident without a Subject.
