By the living, we are not to understand those who are barely on this side the grave, and yet breath in the air; or who have only a weak shadowed spiritual life, which they scarce know of or perceive. The living here are they that live comfortably and prosperously both as to soul and body. Thus 'tis said in that Prophecy of Christ (Psal: 72.13.) He shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually, and daily shall he be praised. Christ lives to purpose, he lives as a Prince, in power and dignity, yea he is the Prince of life. It was more then a sensitive or rational life which Davids faith was assured of, when he said (Psal: 118.17.) I shall not dye but live; his meaning was, I shall live honourably and triumphantly, declaring (with joy) the works of the Lord. Thus here, To be enlightened with the light of the living, is, to enjoy a comfortable life, or to live happily.
