I feel rath better this morning I have a [bliter] on and that have
aford me relife, come and hear, all ye that feer god. and I will
declare what he hath done for my soul. Blessed by god, which
hath not turned away my prayer nor his mercy from me.
Grant O lord that we may not only hear, read, mark, and learn
But inwardly digest the holy scriptures, as soon as the lord hath
fulfilled this prayer upon any poor sinner then jesus is the hope
of his soul: he esteems the scriptures as his daily food
Who have also "found gods words and have eat them
the volume of thy fathers grace
Doth all my griefs assuage
here I behold my Saviours face
Almost in every page
O may thy counsels mighty god,
My roving feet command;
Nor I forsake the happy road
