Secondly, The light of the Sun,1 even that shall be with-holden from them, they shall be shut up in close and dark prisons and dungeons; they shall not have the light of the Sun, who have abused that light, or have done such things in the dark, as the Sun would even blush to look on.
- 1Deus lucem subducit impiis, i. e. vita illos orbat; Frangitquo eorum superbiam & tyrannidem. Codur.
Thirdly, The light of their life, or their life shall be withholden from them; that is, they shall be put to death for their wickedness.
All these may be called their light, because they sometime enjoyed them; and their light in all or any of these notions, is said to be with-holden from them, not as if they had a right to hold it longer, but because they would fain have held it longer, if they might. Thus, from the wicked their light is with-holden; as if it had been said, they are totally and finally deprived of all their good.
