 | Piety, and Poesy |  |
On the Pharisees requiring of a Sign.
Ye faithless Pharisees, what would ye moreTo shew the Coming of our Saviour
Then ye have seen? hath not his power, and might,
Giv'n Creeples legs? and to the blinde their sight?
Restor'd to life, and health, a Corps that dyed,
Was shrowded, coffin'd, grav'd, and putrified?
Fed many souls, turn'd Water into Wine?
Yet (for all this) ye still require a Sign;
Our Saviour still, some greater Sign must give;
It is a sign (vain men) you'll not believe.
