Good people, let us consider that God of his goodness hath sent unto us this acceptable time, the time of mercy and ⟨image 97⟩grace: that he hath delivered us from the horrible thraldom that we sometimes lived in: that God hath put away the blindness, and dispersed that great darkness where under the whole word was sometime whelmed: that we may now worship him in spirit and holiness, without superstition or idolatry: that we may now walk in the light, without any error or wandering. And this great blessing of his, who so seeth not, I pray God open his eyes that he may both see and understand it.
