For 1man is composed of the light of God, and his own proper darkness; These two the Schools call the Act and Potentiality, the form and the matter, being and not being, which constitute every Creature; The darkness or nothingness, which is the Creatures own, is the proper ground of sin—The Law comes and distinguisheth the Light from the Darkness—2 (so that to see sin is to see that we are Creatures;)—God withholds his 3Divine presence, appearances and influences from man,—and so the darkness discovereth it self in man, and predominateth and captivateth him entirely, and becomes his choice and Lord. (so that sin is but an Imperfect Creature, and the Law to cause and show it.)
