III. Blind Men have not the comfortable Benefit of the Sun: So wicked Men receive not the heavenly and sweet Benefit of the Sun of Righteousness.
Tho the Sun shines never so bright, a blind Man is never the better for it, unless his Eyes were opened: So tho the Gospel be preached never so powerfully, yet wicked Men see not, nor can they, till the Eyes of their Understanding are enlightened.

IV. Blind Men stumble, and know not many times at what they stumble; they also are in great Danger, without a sure Guide: So wicked Men know not what they stumble at; they stumble at God himself, and at Christ, when they stumble at his Truth, and his People: They know not whither they go, nor the dreadful Danger they are in; they think they are in the right Way to Heaven, and yet are in the broad Way to Hell; they are led oft-times by those who are as blind as themselves; And if the Blind lead the Blind, they will both fall into the Ditch.
