Once we stumbled at every straw when we walked in darkness, for then wrath had a fall, pride had a fall, lust had a fall, drunkenness had a fall, penury had a fall, ignorance had a fall: or if you will, pride rose, and we fell; lust rose, and we fell, &c.

Were Egypt as light as Goshen we should have Idolaters as joyful as true worshippers; but there is palpable darkness, tedious, fearful, and of long continuance in Egypt, clear light only in Goshen: therefore fly Egypt, ⟨image 48⟩but if thou live in Egypt, that is, walk in darkness, or commit wickedness, though thou sin in the dark, the light will bewray thee, and thy conscience will accuse thee, and condemn thee for it. Therefore now give over darkness, and arm thee with light, for our life shineth like the light, therefore now we should be Israel, for Israel is revolted.
