THe eyes of our. Lord are more lucid then the Sunne,a 1.1 more bright then lightning, and yet saith he, I wil suruey Hierusaelems with lamps. (b)
1. Point. Consider in IESVS his absence with how many, and what mists of obscurities, the hart of man is beset. IESVS indeed, is the true light, which illumines a like the Angelical and sublunary world. For as wel from Angelical spirits as hu∣mane
minds, with light diuinely shed, he banisheth the darknes of ignorance, and errours; which shi∣ning forth anon giues euery thing it's price and estimation; while the good, the euil, the profitable, and hurtful, are knowne, & distinguish∣ed as they are indeed; and lastly thou maist easily discerne, whither thou art black or white, euen as the Sun arising giues to each thing its co∣lours, which the darke and sable night had confounded before.
2. Point. Consider then, how powerfully IESVS, as soone as admitted to enter into the hart, ex∣pels & banisheth al sinnes from the secretst nookes thereof, to wit, his most capital enemyes, wherewith he would not haue any thing to doe; and surely what society can be, be∣tween light & darknessa 1.2 Marke this also, how aptly vices are expressed
in the formes of Serpents, owles toads, dragons, and what els, in Styx or Libia, is more vgly, foule, pernicious.
3. Point. Behold how the Angels are astonished, seeing those monsters of vices so detected, & chased away by IESVS: What madnes, say they, or blindnes is this of men, to suffer so importune and vicious a pest to domineer and raigne ouer them?
