The sun through the smoke of the bottomless pit, raised by the Angel thereof being darkened most filthily, was a ⟨p. 286⟩great grief to the world. But the face of this our Angel is clear, and clarifieth, and shineth as bright as the sun: as in times past also he is said to have shone in the .17. of S. Matt. The bright face of Christ bringeth joy and unspeakable gladness to the beholders, and pacifieth the minds. And the same is seen of us spiritually and by faith. S. Paul is the best expositor of this place in the .2. to the Corinth. 3. and .4. chap. Certainly of the full knowledge of Christ, whereby we believe him to be given us of the father, that by him should be accomplished, and he himself alone should be to us all thing, & as a most joyful light ariseth in the minds. For we are lighted of the light, as is declared in the gospel of S. John. Howsoever therefore the terrible darkness of errors & calamities be over cast in the world of the prince of darkness by the pope and Mahomet, & other corrupters of Gods verity, yet the light which is in the minds of the faithful through faith in Christ, directeth, lighteth, comforteth and preserveth.
