To see thy Friends and Neighbors all thy dying hour abide To see thy Wife and Children small cry out on every side To think thou must for goe them all will nip thy heart full nigh Therefore c. Besides to think upon thy Sins will much molest thy mind The fresh remembrance of the same thou shalt most bitter find Despair dread will drown thy heart for living so awry Therefore c. And thy accusing conscience then will witness to thy woe How wickedly upon the earth thou didst thy days bestow And this wi●hin thy pensive breast most grievously will lye Therefore c. Then will the Devil most busie be Gods Justice to declare And of his mercy he will still procure thee to despair Perswading thee thy grievous Sins do for Hell ever cry Therefore c. Here maist thou sée oh wretched man how hard a time thou ha●t Prepared to repent thy Sins at this thy latter cast Therefore put not repentance back do not Gods Grace deny But in the chiefest of ●hy health c. Let every one pray that the Lord may bless our King and Queen And grant that they in all their days may joyfully be seen And after death that they may live in ●oy eternally Then let all people say Amen And so Amen say I.
