The Soul's Probation: Scene 11

But unto me hath been made manifest How lightly souls may into error fall Who give themselves unto the Spirit-voice Without due heed, and shun the safer ways. The Enemy indeed hath mighty power Life's contradictions to accentuate And thus rob souls of their security. He must fall silent when the Light appears That from the fount of Wisdom issuing Doth bring full clearness to our spirit-sight.
