Do you therefore submit to it quietly and without murmuring because he sent it 4. And do you look up to him for Assistance and Deliverance and depend upon him to take it off again 5. And are you willing that he should do this when he pleases and contented to wait his time for it 6.

Will you endeavour by God's Grace to hold on in this Mind and still to shew forth the same if having by God's Blessing recovered your former Health you should come to converse again among these worldly Satisfactions and be enabled to relish and enjoy them If that is not done already I must remind you as your case requires I should and as I am directed and ordered to do by the Church to set your Worldly Affairs in order and to take care of a just Payment of all you owe and declare what is owing unto you and to make such clear Disposal of the Worldly Goods you have to leave as may both discharge your own Conscience and prevent Disputes and preserve Peace among your Friends who shall survive you I must also remind you according to your Ability to be liberal to the Poor remembring that what is disposed of this way is laid out upon your own Soul and that this giving to them is laying up Treasures for your self in Heaven And after these the Guide of Souls or the Penitent himself if the Sick Man is his own Examiner may proceed to other Questions for the Trya● of his Estate in manner following Questions for the Penitent whereby to try and discover the Safety of their Spiritual State When you are passed from Death unto Judgment and stand at the great Day to be tried before the dreadful Tribunal of Jesus Christ you will be called to answer to the Searcher of Hearts and to give an Account of such Points as these I. 1.
