Listen in the reader

“He that the Light, because ’tis slight,   hath uséd to despise, Would not the Light shining more bright,   be likely for a prize. If you had lov’d, and well improv’d   your knowledge and dim sight, Herein your pain ’had not been vain,   your plagues had been more light.“

Reprobate Infants plead for themselves.
