76. On the Childrens Bread.

Thy strengthning Graces are the Childrens Bread,
Which maks thy thriving Children strong & able;
152

Honour, and Riches are the Crumms that feed
The Doggs that lurk beneath their Masters Table:
Lord, if thy gracious pleasure will allow
But Bread, I'm sure, I shall have Crums enow.
