S. AUGUST. Soliloq. cap. 4.
O Lord, who art the Light, the Way, the Truth, the Life; in whom there is no darkenesse, error, vanity, nor death: The light, without which there is darkenesse; The way, without which there is wandring; The Truth, without which there is errour; Life, without which there is death: Say, Lord, let there be light, and I shall see light, and eschue darknesse; I shall see the way, and a∣void wandring; I shall see the truth, and shun errour; I shall see life, and escape death; Illuminate, O illuminate my blind soule, which sits in darkenesse and the shadow of death, and direct my feet in the way of peace.
