For selfish ends, thou sayst, some thus did tell,

Pag. 2.

You see not right, your Light directs not well.

Thy drift is here, the Quakers to compare
With the Worlds Teachers, who in Darkness are;
And so art thou. The cases differ quite:
For their Objection was against the Light;
But so's not ours. You see not right, they said,
The fault whereof upon the Light they laid.
We see, and truly, that you see not right,
But far be't from us to reproach the Light.
We never say, the Light directs not well:
We tell you, That you from the Light are fell.
Their case with ours, doth no proportion bear,
But serves to make thy Envy more appear.
