Poetick Miscellanies of Mr John Rawlet | ||
68
THE Sum of our Duty.
Love God with all thy Heart and Soul, and Mind;To Friend and Foe be just, be true and kind.
Obey thy Parents, and thy Rulers Laws;
Never rebel, but suffer in God's Cause.
Be Meek and Patient, Humble, Sober; Chast,
In these good ways be constant to the last.
And when thou hast done all, then humbly cry,
An useless, sinful Servant, Lord, am I.
69
My hope is in thy Mercies, and Christ's Merit.
Whilst here I live, let not thy Spirit leave me;
And when I die, O Blessed Lord, Receive me.
