Whose uncharitable and cruell Restraints, denying me even the
assistance of any of my Chaplains, hath rather enlarged, then any way
obstructed my accesse to the Throne of Heaven,

_Where thou dwellest, O King of Kings, who fillest Heaven and Earth,
who art the fountain of eternal life, in whom is no shadow of death._

_Thou, O God, art both the just Afflicter of death upon us, and the
mercifull Saviour of us in it, and from it._

_Yea, it is better for us to be dead to our selves, and live in thee;
then by living in our selves, to be deprived of thee._

_O make the many bitter aggravations of my death as a Man, and a King,
