Sect. 7. Let a light be never so mean and contemptible; yet if it shines, casts out beams and rays in a dark place, it will evidence its self. If other things be wanting in the faculty, the Light as to its innate Glory and beauty, is not to suffer prejudice. But the Word is a glorious shining Light, as hath been showed; an illuminating Light; compared to, and preferred above the light of the Sun. Psal. 19. 5, 6, 7. Rom. 10. 18. Let not then a reproach be cast upon the most glorious Light in the world, the most eminent reflection of uncreated light and Excellencies, that will not be fastened on any thing, that on any account is so called. Math. 5. 19.
