This to be even so / the words of Christ Joh. iii. do well confirm. This is condemnation (saith he) the light is come into the world ⟨image 5⟩/ but the men loved darkness more then light for their deeds were evil. Behold / when the light of God's word cometh to a man / whether he read it or here it preached & testified / & he yet have no love thereto / to fashion his life thereafter / but consenteth still unto his old deeds of ignorance: then beginneth his just dā nation immediately / & he is henceforth without excuse: in that he refused mercy offered him. For God offereth him mercy upon the condition that he will mend his living: but he will not come under the covenant. And from that hour forward he waxeth worse & worse / God taking his sprite of mercy and grace from him for his unthankfulness sake.

This is condemnaciō (sayth he) the lyght is come into ye worlde ⟨image 5⟩/ but ye men loved darcknes more then light for their dedes were evell. Beholde / when the light of Godes worde cometh to a mā / whether he reade it or here it preached & testified / & he yet have no love thereto / to fassion his lyfe therafter / but cōsēteth still vnto his olde dedes of ignoraūce: then beginneth his iust dā nacion ymmediatlye / & he is henceforth without excuse: in that he refused mercie offered him. For God offereth him mercie vpon the condyciō that he will mende his livinge: but he will not come vnder the covenaūt. And frō that houre forwarde he waxeth worsse & worsse / God takinge his sprite of mercye and grace from him for his vnthankfulnes sake.
And Paul writeth. Ro. i. that the heathen because when they knew god / they had no lust to honour him with godly living / therefore god poured his wrath upon them & toke his spirit from them & gave them up unto their hearts lusts to serve sin / from iniquity to iniquity till they were through hardened and past repentance.
