From all this shall the converted
soul be delivered ~

1 What a noble & satisfactory work
is entrusted to us!! What more
precious could we have? What
task is more inviting? How many
hearts have we made happy – how
many sweet faces have smiled on
us – how many benisons invoked
by lips far away fall gently on us!

2 We have yet much to perform
in this line. Never was such a
field before to win Gods [God's] favor in –
to gain mans [man's] blessing in – to
fulfil [fulfill] God's law of benevolence in –
and to bless that posterity in – wh. [which] – if
we will it – will make this the glory of all lands ~
