19. On the holy Scriptures.
Why did our blessed Saviour please to breakeHis sacred thoughts in Parables; and speake
In darke Enigma's? Who so ere thou be
That findst them so, they were not spoke to Thee:
In what a case is he, that happs to run
Against a post, and cries, How dark's the Sun?
Or he, in Summer, that complaines of Frost?
The Gospell's hid to none, but who are lost:
The Scripture is a Ford, wherein, tis said,
An Elephant shall swim; a Lambe may wade.
