conditions and circumstances of life. Make me feel so much

me to give a greater proof of all these in constant
obedience to my Duty and occasion the increase of my

heart thereby to such a measure of Christian piety that I may
not only be innocent and harmless but forward also to do
good and not only be contented with my Portion but
rejoice in our Lord always and rejoice not only to do thy
will but to suffer also for righteousness sake knowing that
great shall be my reward in Heaven. Bless my endeavors
to add "to faith virtue and to virtue knowledge to knowledge
temperance to temperance patience and to pateince godliness

kindness charity: That doing these things I may never fall
but an entrance may be ministerd to me abundantly
into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. Amen
