1. There is a double, ( as ) to wit of likeness, and of a quality, the one respects the kinde, the other the degree, that the nature, this the measure of the thing, our light in which we are to walke, must be like to that in which God is, though the light in which God is, be infinitely brighter then ours, looke as it is between the streame and the fountaine, the branch and the root, the aire and the sun, so it is between God and a Christian, the same water is in the streame that is in the fountaine, the same sap in the branch, that is in the roote the same light, in the aire that is in the sun, though the water and the sap and the light are primarily, & most plenarily in the fountaine, the root the sun, indeed to speak Exactly, we cannot call the holiness of a Saint the same with Gods holinesse, because this, (as all his attributes) is his essence, which is in communicable to any creature, besides his holinesse is infinite, and ours finite, and infinite, and finite must needs toto genere distare, differ generically, but the holinesse in us, is the image of that holiness in God, and as it were the stampe, and impression of Gods holiness upon us, in which regard holiness, is one of those attributes of God, which the schooles call communicable, because God is pleased to communicate the likeness of it to his Saints, and therefore they are truly said by the author to the Hebrews, to partake of his holinesse, and here by the Apostle John, to walke in the light, as he is in the light. |
1. There is a double, (as) to wit of likeness, and of a quality, the one respects the kind, the other the degree, that the nature, this the measure of the thing, our Light in which we Are to walk, must be like to that in which God is, though the Light in which God is, be infinitely Brighter then ours, look as it is between the stream and the fountain, the branch and the root, the air and the sun, so it is between God and a Christian, the same water is in the stream that is in the fountain, the same sap in the branch, that is in the root the same Light, in the air that is in the sun, though the water and the sap and the Light Are primarily, & most plenarily in the fountain, the root the sun, indeed to speak Exactly, we cannot call the holiness of a Saint the same with God's holiness, Because this, (as all his attributes) is his essence, which is in communicable to any creature, beside his holiness is infinite, and ours finite, and infinite, and finite must needs toto genere distare, differ generically, but the holiness in us, is the image of that holiness in God, and as it were the stamp, and impression of God's holiness upon us, in which regard holiness, is one of those attributes of God, which the Schools call communicable, Because God is pleased to communicate the likeness of it to his Saints, and Therefore they Are truly said by the author to the Hebrews, to partake of his holiness, and Here by the Apostle John, to walk in the Light, as he is in the Light. |
