in_o its_o pure_a undefiled_a state_n as_o it_o come_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o darkness_n be_v a_o evil_a essence_n but_o say_v i_o how_o can_v that_o be_v evil_a which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o light_n sol._n for_o darkness_n be_v the_o root_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o from_o the_o fire_n proceed_v the_o light_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n there_o will_v be_v no_o light_n wherefore_o darkness_n be_v no_o evil_a essence_n neither_o be_v the_o bitterness_n and_o sting_n of_o the_o anguish_n evil_a in_o itself_o because_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o triumph_a joy_n nor_o the_o fire_n though_o it_o be_v a_o fierce_a and_o devour_a essence_n because_o its_o fierceness_n and_o wrathfulness_n be_v the_o
