Light, and I shall see Light,and eschew darkness; I shall see the Way, and avoid wandering; I shall see the Truth,and shun error; I shall see Life, and escape Death: Illuminate, O illuminate my blindSoul, which sitteth in darkness, and the shadow of Death; and direct my feet in the wayof Peace.—S. August. Soliloq. cap. 4. YET A LITTLE WHILE IS THE LIGHT WITH YOU. HE THAT DOETH GOOD, IS BETTER THAN THE GOOD HE DOETH. WW// HEN ftormie Boreas puts the feas in rage, And fwelling waves interring warre do wage; When fun is darknd, when night doth heavn confound, And foaming billowes give a difcord found : My light then leads the way through reeling ftrands, Guiding by Scyllas rocks, Charybdis fands. Here we are toffed in a maine of feares; But Chrift our admirall the lanterne beares; Leaft we mould fuffer mipwracke in the night, He leads us through all dangers by his light. Who then wouldft come to Heavns long wifht-for bay, Follow thy Saviour, whos Truth, Light, and Way. Faroes Emblems.
