[Confirm'd by daily miracle]

He...believed, being astonished at the doctrine, &c. —xiii. 12.

Confirm'd by daily miracle
The doctrine of the Lord, we find,
It doth the heavenly light reveal
But strikes the truth's opposers blind;
Baffles their utmost craft and power,
And leaves them darker than before.

277

Amazed the strange effects we see
Wrought by the Spirit's two-edged sword,
And in the world's obscurity
Discern the quick and powerful word,
Which all the sons of darkness still
Deny the Scriptures and fulfil.
