And here I instantly and earnestly (for it is a matter of no small moment, but as much as your soul is worth) beseech every one of you, for Gods sake, for Christs sake, for your own souls sake, seriously to consider before-hand with your selves, what it is that you intend to do in this kind, and how likely you are to speed in what you shall do. When therefore thou goest about the making of thy Will, either in time of health, (and that is indeed the most seasonable time for it) or on thy sick-bed, if thou hast not done it before; what will be the first thing that thou intendest to dispose of? I suppose, it will be thy soul; which is thy rpreciousest jewel, whether thou esteem it so, or no. And whom intendest thou to bequeath it unto? I presume, unto God thy Maker, unto Christ thy Saviour, whom thou professest to count thy dearest friend.
