Thirdly, If we consider the pure nature o• light; 'tis as pure as purity it self. Light hath an inseparable and an insuperable purity; though it may be a while obscured, yet it cannot be at all polluted. Philosophers have spoken much about the nature of light, but none were ever able to comprehend it. Some said, it is a habit or quality of a light some body; 1yet none of their definitions reach it fully. They make it a quality; yet we may conceive it is rather to be ranked and reckoned among substances than accidents, it being a principal part of the Creation, and the express subject of Gods work the first day of it.
