From George Herbert, A Priest to the Temple, cap 35.
Another old custom there is of saying, when light is brought in, God send us the light of heaven, and the parson likes this very well, neither is he afraid of praising or praying to God at all times, but is rather glad or catching opportunities to do them. Light is a great blessing, and as great as food, for which we give thanks: and those that think this superstitious neither know superstition nor themselves.
I do love Herbert.
