IV. The Day is Man's working Time; Labourers in the Field, when the Day is ended, go home, they can work no longer: So whilst God affords the Gospel, and Means of Grace, Sinners should, like faithful Labourers, work hard, work out their own Salvation, labour for the Meat that perisheth not: for when that is gone, no Man can work; then the Things of their Peace will be hid from their Eyes, like as it fell out with Jerusalem.
V. The Day brings great Light with it, which makes great Discoveries of Persons and Things; whilst the Night lasts, Men cannot see what is near them, neither the Good they may receive, nor the Evil they should refuse, and escape from; but the Day discovers all, and makes every thing manifest: So the Gospel-Day brings Light, and the Light thereof discovers the Evil that is in the Hearts, Works, and Lives of Men; by this Light they see their Sins, and the Danger they are in thereby, and also the Way to be delivered from them. Christ is the Way which the Day-Light makes manifest. In the Night of Popery, Men lost the blessed Path to Peace, and Way of Life, and ran to the Merits of their own Ways, and to Popish Pardons, and what not? but the Day of the Gospel in England hath discovered their Mistake, and showed them the plain Way to Heaven, &c.
