If ye were blind: ye should have no sin.1 But now ye say, we see▪ therefore your sin remaineth. Notwithstanding such as are obstinately blind, and wilfully, ignorant, & by no means, will come unto the knowledge of the truth, but of set purpose refuse and despise it, shall never find the like favour at the hand of God, so long as they remain in that wicked and damnable purpose. Are not these the words of him, which is not only true, but also the self truth? This is the condemnation: that light is come into the world,2 and men loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that evil doth, hateth the light: neither cometh to the light, least his deeds should be reproved. But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be known, how that they are wrought in God.

For euery one that euill doth, hateth the light: neither commeth to the lyght, least his deedes should be reproued. But he that doth truth, cō meth to ye lyght, that his dedes may be knowē, howe that they are wrought in God.
