Chap. t0 out of darknefs for the ufe ofman, commands light in darknefs for hisown. ?be darknefs bideth not from thee (faith David) but *be nightfhinetb as the day. The darrnefs andtbe light are both alike to thee. There is no darknefs nor fhad:w of death, where any of the workers of iniquity can hide themfelves, Job 34.22. Thus Godbath not eyes offlefh ; be fee:6 not as manfeeth. 3- Man feeth one thing after another : his eye is not able to to take in all objets at once;he views now'one,and thenanother, make his judgement of them.
