John3:21
Verſe 21. But he that doth truth.] Tenebriones Papiſtae malè ſibi conſcii, Aeternùm atri, et tetri ſunte, et habentor, Rex Platon. qui non tam cute, quam corde Aethiopici, Solem quò magis luceat, eò magis execrentur. But our hearts (as our clymate) have more light then heat. Sir Philip Sidney uſed to ſay of Chaucer, that he wondered how in thoſe miſty times he could ſee ſo cleerly; and how we in theſe clearer times go on ſo ſtumblingly. If any be ignorant, 1 Cor. 14.38. let him be ignorant, ſaith Paul. And ſo much any one knowes, as he does of Gods will, as the Apoſtle intimates, when he tels us, 2 Cor. 5.21. that Chriſt knew no ſin; that is, he did none.
Wrought in God.] Right. 1. Quoad fontem, a pure heart. Aug. 2. Quoad finem, the glory of God. Eſſe they are but ſplendida peccata, ſins in a ſilk n ſuite.
