Lift UP thine eyaI to God in the high
est, and pray Him to pardon thy sins
Leave vain things to the vain; but
be thou intent upon those things which
God hath commanded thee.
Shut thy door upon three, and call
urto thee Jesus thy beloved
Stay with Him in thy clcsdt: for
thou silIallt not find 30 great peace any
where else.
If thou hadst gone abroad and hetark-
en- to idle rumorls thou woulCth the bet
ter have preserved q happy peace Of
mind.
But since thou GelighrterIt sometimes
to hear new things. it is but fit thou
suffer for it some discuietude of heart.
