And therefore the Apostle exhorteth in another place after this sort, ye live not now in darkness: but1 by the Gospel are called to the light of the Gospel: Now men in darkness have on ragged garments, but in the light will go more cleanly. And therefore the Apostle saith: they that are drunk, are drunk 2in the night: but now that ye are called to the Gospel, your light can never go down in that regard: And therefore it is a shame for you to give your selves to drunkenness, uncleanness, covetousness, malice, evil speaking, &c. So that it is a more fearful sin which is committed under the Gospel.
