  • Know that the nature of lightning is that it taketh away the sight; regard the everlasting Light as entirely Helpers (to the attainment of vision). 1545
  • To ride (your) horse upon the foam of the sea, to read a letter in a flash of lightning,
  • Is, to fail, because of covetousness, to see the end; it is, to laugh at your own mind and intellect.
