And behold two blind setting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cryed out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord thou Son of David, and the multitude rebuked them.
Will you go home with your cold Prayers, and cold Hearts, and cold Affections; and shall christ stand aloof off, and you stand afar from christ, Mathew 20.30. And behold two blind setting by the Way side, when they herd that jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, Oh Lord thou Son of David, and the multitude rebuked them.
