Religion

Mar. 7. The dumbe healed, and the people enjoyned silence.

by Richard Crashaw 1613–1649

Religion

CHrist bids the dumbe tongue speake, it speakes, the sound
Hee charges to be quiet, it runs round,
If in the first he us'd his fingers Touch:
His hands whole strength here, could not be too much.
