Ephesians1:19

Indeed this power is ſecret, and like that of the heavens upon our bodies, which (ſaith one) is as ſtrong as that of phyſick, &c. Yet ſo ſweet, and ſo ſecretly inſinuating it ſelf with the principles of nature, that as for the conveyance of it, it is inſenſible, and hardly differenced from that of the principles of nature in us. Therefore the Apoſtle praieth for theſe Epheſians here, that their eyes may be enlightned to ſee the power that wrought in them, &c.
