Discourse and judge discreetly, as it ought.

So though the clouds eclipse the Sun's fair light,

Yet from his face they do not take one beam:

So have our eyes their perfect power of sight,

Even when they look into a troubled stream.

Then these defects in Sense's organs be,

Not in the Soul, or in her working might;

She cannot lose her perfect Power to See,

Though mists and clouds do choke her window light.
