God gives light or good things to the evil as well as to the good (Mat. 5.45.) He maketh his Sun to rise on the evil and on the good; even they who are evil and are daily doing evil, enjoy the light of the Sun, and the light of all outward good things, through the patience and goodness of God. Much more may the godly when they see the light or good of this world, look upon it as theirs, as a part of their inheritance here below. As hereafter all the godly shall have an inheritance among the Saints in light, so many of them have an inheritance of light here, the Sun is a piece of their portion. God having adopted them to be his children, the Sun is a debtor to them, and they may reckon it among their good things, though not as their good; God having provided better things for them than the light of this world, or of any good ⟨p. 140⟩thing, which they hold only in common with the world. From the wicked their light is with-holden.
