PARABLE IV. The Kingdom of Heaven compared unto Leaven.
Once more—The kingdom nam'd of heav'n
Bears a similitude to leav'n,
Which in three measures of her meal
An housewife happen'd to conceal;
Till light and good was all her flow'r
By that communicative pow'r.
Bears a similitude to leav'n,
Which in three measures of her meal
An housewife happen'd to conceal;
Till light and good was all her flow'r
By that communicative pow'r.
The bread of life is God's free grace,
Which, first in an especial place,
Reveal'd to Peter, and a few,
Soon marvelously spread and grew,
And shone till it illum'd the blind,
And shall enlighten all mankind.
Which, first in an especial place,
Reveal'd to Peter, and a few,
Soon marvelously spread and grew,
And shone till it illum'd the blind,
And shall enlighten all mankind.
