"Therefore the Eyes of my Understanding are not yet open'd, but the Old Veil is still upon my Heart."
Metaphor in Context
I speculatively know, What Light is; and I see the Light of Faith, just as that Man sees the Light of the Sun, on whose closed Eyes the Sun shines. But I want the Holy Ghost to open my Eyes, that I may see all Things clearly.
Therefore the Eyes of my Understanding are not yet open'd, but the Old Veil is still upon my Heart.
