Hence Note, First; Light is a discoverer.
Light makes all things manifest. As the light of the Word discovers the evil that is in the works of wicked men, and makes that manifest; so the light of the Sun discovers the persons of wicked men, and makes them manifest. We cannot distinguish white from black, nor can we see where men are, nor what they are doing, till light be-friend us. And as the natural light makes things manifest, so much more doth spiritual light, the light of Law and Gospel. By the power of that light wicked men are shaken and driven out of their sins; by that light they ⟨p. 134⟩see, judge, and condemn themselves. And thus the wicked are indeed shaken out of the earth, that is, out of their earthly state of sin and unbelief.
Secondly, Note; Wicked men and light, are at no good agreement.
