| Metaphor in Context | The human Spirit, when it burns and shines, "Lamp of Jehovah" Solomon defines. Now, as a Vessel, to contain the Whole, This "Lamp" denotes the Body, Oil the Soul (As H---observes) which, tho' itself be dark, Is capable of Life's enkindling Spark; But, as consider'd in its own dark Root, Still wants the Unction and the Light's Recruit. |
