of your portion to the poor as riches do arise And from the needy naked soul turn not away your eyes For he that doth not hear the cry of those that stand in need Shall cry himself and not be heard when he would hope to spéed If God hath given you encrease and blessed well your store Remember you are put in trust to minister to the poor Beware of foul and filthy lust let such things have no place Keep clean your vessels in the Lord that he may you imbrace Ye are the Temples of the Lord for ye are dearly bought And they that do defile the same shall surely come to nought Possess not Pride in any case build not thy house too high But always have before your eyes that ye be born to dye Defraud not him that hired is your labour to sustain But give him always out of hand his penny for his pain And as you would another man against you to proceed Do ye the same to them again when they do stand in need And part your portion to the poor in money and in meat And send the feeble fainting soul of that which ye should 〈◊〉 That when your members do lack meat and cloathing to your back You may the better think on them that do both live and lack Ask counsel alwaies of the wise give ear unto the end Refuse not thou the sweet rebukes of him that is thy friend Be alwaies thankful to the Lord with prayer and with praise Desiring him in all your works for to direct your ways And sin not like the Swinish sort whose bodies being fed Consume their time upon the earth from belly unto bed Seek first I say the living Lord have him alwaies before And then he sure that he will bless your 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 your store And thus if you direct your ways according to this book Then shall they say that see your fare how like me you do look And when you have this perfectly upon your fingers ends Possessing all within this book then give it to your friends And I beséeth the Almighty God replinish you with grace That I may have you in the Heavens and see you face to face And though the sword hath cut me 〈◊〉 contrary to my kind That I could not enjoy your love according to my mind Yet I do hope that when the 〈◊〉 shall 〈◊〉 like a stowl I shall receive you in perfect shape in body and in ●oul And that I may enjoy your love and you enjoy the Land I do beseech the living Lord to hold you in his hand Though here my body be adjudg'd in flaming fire to fry My soul I trust will straight ascend to live with God on high what though this carcass smart a while and this life decay My soul I do commend to God to live with him for aye I know I am a Sinner horn from the Original And that I doe deserve to dye by our fore-fathers fall But by our Saviours precious blood which on the Cross was spilt Who freely offered up his life to fave our souls from guilt I hope redemption I shall have and all that in him trust When I shall see him face to face to live amongst the iust Then why should I fear grifly ●eath 〈◊〉 he for me did dye For King and Cesar rich and poor the force of death must try When I am chain'd unto the stake and faggots girt me round Pray to the Lord my soul in heaven be with thy glory crown'd Come welcome death the end of fears I am prepar'd to dye These earthly flames will send my soul straight to the Lord on high Farewel my children to the world where you must yet remain The Lord of Hosts be your defence till we do meet again Farewel my true and loving wife my children and my friends I hope to God to see you all when all things have their ends And if you do abide in God as you have now begun Your course I warrant shall be short you have not long to run God grant you so to end your days as he shall think it best That I may have you in the Heavens where I do hope to rest THus hath my failing and faultring tongue endeavoured to discover uuto you those vertues which will lead you unto happiness you have heard those sundry and several documents which I have given you but it is not enough to hear them it is not your audience only that I crave it is your Obedience that I require for as 't is with the body of man to eat much and not to keep it argues a good Appetite but bad digestion so it is with the divine part of man to hear only and not to keep it shews quick ears which is little or nothing worth without retention therefore these my Fatherly admonitions if you my children shall observe and duly exercise as I hope you will I shall be happy in giving these instructions and you more happy in receiving them for you shall find that the prosecuting of these foremention'd vertues and the avoiding the formerly specified vices shall be comfortable unto you here and procure eternal glory for you hereafter I will end my Legacy with my life and both life and Legacy with a blessing The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob bless you all in this life and make you all heirs of that blessēdness of the life to come Amen FINIS
