He showeth in places more than one,1 who are partakers of that light, or who be Citizens of this celestial city, and what ⟨p. 662⟩is the state of the Citizens. All nations & people saved, are citizens of the eternal country. Here are two things to be noted. First, that the gentiles are made inheritors of glory, and that without any choice. For here excelleth not the Jew, nor the Greek, neither Roman, nor Barbarian. Again yet not all without respect, and confusedly obtain everlasting light, but the saved only: that is to say, whom Christ hath saved and redeemed from sin, the Devil, Antichrist, and from the curse and the world. And Christ saveth the elect and faithful. They therefore shall in deed be partakers of the light: These are the citizens of the country everlasting. But what is their state and inheritance? They shall walk in the light of God the father & the lamb: that is to say, they shall have the fruition of the light and of God himself, to their joyful sweetness and fill. For it is a figurative speech, to walk in the light, for that which is, to enjoy light. Verily in the .88. Psalm is red with a figure not much unlike: Lord they shall walk in the light of thy countenance. And again: Thou shalt make known unto me the foot path of life, the fulfilling of joys is in thy sight, & gladness in thy right hand for evermore
He sheweth in places mo than one,1 who are partakers of that light, or who be Citizens of this celestiall citie, and what ⟨p. 662⟩is the state of the Citizens. All nations & people saued, are citizens of the eternal coūtrie. Here ar two things to be noted. First, that ye gentiles are made inheritours of glory, and that without any choise. For here excelleth not the Iewe, nor the Greke, nother Romane, nor Barbarian. Agayne yet not all without respect, and confusely obteine euerlasting light, but the saued only: that is to sai, whom Christ hath saued and redemed from sin, the Deuil, Antichrist, and from the curse and the world. And Christ saueth thelect and faithful. They therfore shal in dede be partakers of ye light: These ar the citizens of the countrie euerlasting. But what is their state and inhiritaunce? Thei shal walke in the light of God the father & the lambe: that is to say, they shall haue the fruition of the light and of God himselfe, to their ioiful swetnes and fill. For it is a figuratiue speach, to walke in the light, for that which is, to inioy light. Verely in the .88. Psalme is red with a figure not much vnlyke: Lorde thei shall walke in the light of thy countenance. And againe: Thou shalt make knowen vnto me the fote path of lyfe, the fulfilling of ioyes is in thy sight, & gladnes in thy right hand for euermore
