We
mull walkedecently, putting on the armour

on

the

the graces
of
his
Spirit,which
are
both
the
rai-

coate armour of

Now
left they thould fay,
Why,
though we
walk accompanying
fuch, following the world,
pleafures, &c. may we
not be
the
chil-
dren
of
lighte
The Apoflle therefore doth
urge unto
the duty from
the
neceffary conjunEtion
of
the grace
of
the Spirit and the works
or
fruit
of
grace.
Thisverfe (it
is
plaine) doth give
a
reafon
of
fome-
thing
in
the
verfe
before
:
Now
there
are
two
things
:
The
one,the condition
of
the
Ephef:ans.
The
other,the
duty.
Now
if
it thould ferve
the former,
it fhould
come
in
thus: Marvaile
not
that
I
fay
you are
light,for where the
Spirit
is
(as
you
are
the
tem-
ples
of
God
by
his
Spirit)
tyre
the Spirit doth work
as a
fruit, the
light
ofgrace
and holineffe: But
our inherent
graces
are
not
fo
termed
as fruits
of
the-Spirit
:
and
the
fruit
oftheffiirit, hath oppofition to the
fruitleffe works
of
darkneffe.
Let
us take it
therefore
as
ferving
to
the
latter,viz. that they
(feeing they were light)fhould walk
as
children
of
light
,
for (faith he) this
is
the
nature
of
die light
ofgrace,
which
the
Spirit worketh; that it
will have
works
in all
goodneffe
and righteouf-
neffe and
truth;
for the word
[fruit]
doth molt properly
note the
worke,
