He hath made but small progression
The school of Christ whose weak Faith
is still to learn the lesson of
being satisfied with all the despensations
of Providence & of casting his
case upon the God. All therefore That I
beg of thee is the establishing my Heart
in the may of thy commandments and
so lond as I swerve not from Truth
& Righteousness secure my Soul
and for the rest do Thy pleasure
For thou are wise Just &
good and Just. I am we are all
the methods of thy Providence
Tho human understanding may not
distinctly perceive nor be able to
account for the Reason of them.

If therefore Thou condemn me to
darkness & affliction I will praise & thank
thee for deserved correction even in the
midst of my trouble Or if thou spare the
Rod and make my darkness to be light I
will then thankfully receive the blessing
and magnify the favor which I cannot
deserve.
