For this cause Christ calleth sin unbelief / and that notably in •. xvj. chap. of John. The ⟨p. ccvi⟩spirit / saith he / shall rebuke the world of sin / because they believe not in me. And John viij. he saith: I am the light of the world. And therefore in the .xij. of John he biddeth them / while they have light / to believe in the light / that ye may be the children of light: for he that walketh in darkness wotteth not whether he goeth. Now as Christ is the light / so is the ignorance of Christ that darkness whereof he speaketh / in which he that walketh wotteth not whether he goeth: that is / he knoweth not how to work a good work in the sight of God / or what a good work is. And therefore in the .ix. he saith: as long as I am in the world / I am the light of the world: but there cometh night when no man can work. Which night is but the ignorance of Christ in which no man can see to do any work that pleaseth God. And Paul exhorteth Ephesi. iiii. that they walk not as other heathen which are strangers from the life of God / through the ignorance that is in them. And again in the same chap. Put of (saith he) the old man which is corrupt through the lusts of error / that is to say ignorance. And Ro. xii• Let us cast away the deeds of darkness: that is to say of ignorance & unbelief. And .j. Pet. j Fashion not your selves unto your old lusts of ignorance. And .j. Jo. ij. He that loveth his brother dwelleth in light: and he that hateth his brother walketh in darkness / & wotteth no• whether he goeth / for darkness hath blinded his▪ eyes. By light he meaneth the knowledge of Christ / and by darkness / the ignorance of Christ. For it is impossible that he that knoweth Christ truly / should hate his brother.

For this cause Christ calleth synne vnbelefe / and that notably in •. xvj. chap. of Iohn. The ⟨p. ccvi⟩sprete / saith he / shall rebuke the worlde of synne / because they beleue not in me. And Iohn viij. he sayth: I am the light of the worlde. And therfore in the .xij. of Iohn he byddeth them / whyle they haue light / to beleue in the light / that ye maye be the chyldrē of light: for he that walketh in darcknes wotteth not whether he goeth. Now as Christ is the light / so is the ignoraunce of Christ that darcknes wherof he speaketh / in which he that walketh wotteth not whether he goeth: that is / he knoweth not how to worke a good worke in the syght of God / or what a good worke is. And therfore in the .ix. he sayth: as longe as I am in the worlde / I am the light of the worlde: but there cōmeth night when no man can worke. Which nyght is but the ignoraūce of Christ in which no mā can se to do anyeworke that pleaseth God. And Paul exhorteth Ephesi. iiii. that they walke not as other hethen which are straūgers frō thelyfe of God / thorow the ygnoraūce that is in thē. And agayne in the same chap. Put of (sayth he) the olde mā which is corrupt thorowe the lustes of erroure / that is to saye ignoraūce. And Ro. xii Let vs cast awaye the dedes of darcknes: that is to saye of ignoraūce & vnbelefe. And .j. Pet. j Fassion not youre selues vnto youre olde lustes of ignoraūce. And .j. Io. ij. He that loueth his brother dwelleth in light: and he that hateth his brother walketh in darcknes / & woteth no whether he goeth / for darckenes hath blynded his eyes. By light he meaneth the knowledge of Christ / and by darcknes / the ignoraunce of Christ. For it is impossible that he that knoweth Christ truly / shulde hate his brother.
