Disparity.

MEn who are naturally blind, would gladly see; they lament nothing more than the Loss of their Eye-sight: But wicked Men are willingly blind, they love Darkness rather than Light, and refuse the Means God is pleased to afford them, in order to the opening their Eyes.

II. Men who are naturally blind, do gladly accept of a faithful and sure Guide: But wicked Men, who are spiritually blind, refuse that Guide God directs them to, viz. his holy Word; they are neither thankful to God, nor good Men, for any Help afforded them; nay, they vilify such as would take them by the hand to save them out of the Pit of eternal Misery. There is no Blindness like spiritual Blindness. Call upon wicked Men, and entreat them never so often and earnestly, Pray do not go that Way, take heed, Man, O take heed! there is a Pit before you; alas! you are going into the Lion's Den, nay, worse, into everlasting Fire, to Death and Hell: Yet these blind Wretches will go on, live or die, sink or swim, all is one; no Advice or Warning will be received.
