81. On Blindness.

'Tis day, and yet we grope the way to finde,
Strange that the Gospels light should make us blinde.
The world's God blindes mens eyes, they neither can
See their Disease, nor their Physician.
66

Bodicea in her own conceit
Was rich, and yet how poor was her estate!
The blind man in the Gospel till Christ came,
Recov'red not his sight, and in Christ's name
Implore we must, the spirit to inlight
Our spir't'al eyes, for we have lost our sight.
