from their back,
Now I am deprived from all comforts of life.

Poor, sick I, days are very dark,
To undergo sickness,
And no comforts of life,
I hope to have comfort in heaven.

O how much better to go to house of mourning,
Than to go to house of plays and frolicking,
Sorrow is better than laughter,
By sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
O how I love the Holy law,
'Tis daily my delight,
And thence my meditations draw,
Divine advice by night.

Touched with sympathy within,
Christ knows our feeble frame,
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.

Restraining prayer we cease to fight,
Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright,
And Satan trembles when he sees,
The weakest saint upon his knees.

Afflictions, though they seem severe,
In mercy oft are sent,
They stopped the prodigal's career,
And forced him to repent.

Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw,
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.

The Lord will sustain our weakest powers,
With his almighty arm,
And watch our most unguarded hours,
Against surprising harm.

Poor, weak, and worthless though I am,
I have a rich, almighty friend,
Jesus, the Saviour, is his name,
He freely loves and without end.

Human, God is love and truth,
God requires human to consider dumb creatures,
What a site of wit they have got,
And what a site of love they have got for one another,
And love for human too, if they are kind to them,
If human are cruel to dumb creatures in any way,
Or let them suffer in any way,
God will cast off such sinners, to everlasting punishment.
God requires human to take it to their own case,
If they was dumb creatures, could not speak, nor help
themselves,
And human crueled them in any way,
Or let them suffer in any way.
Consider what you would undergo to be crueled,
If you could not help yourselves.
God requires human to leave off all their sins,
And pray to the Lord with truth, to take away their heart
of stone,
And give them a good heart, the Holy spirit,
Prepare them to both live, and die,
Without true repentance, they will go to punishment,
According to their sins,
