Let us cast away the works of darkness, and all doctrines of superstition and ignorance. Let us behold the troubles and miseries of other countries. Heaven and earth, our brethren, the care of our salvation, the Son of God himself put us in mind, that it is now time.
Let vs cast away the workes of darkenesse, and all doctrines of superstition and ignorance. Let vs beholde the troubles and miseries of other countries. Heauen and earth, our brethren, the care of our saluation, the Sonne of God himselfe put vs in minde, that it is nowe time.
Whiles we have time, let us do good: let us seek God whiles he may be found. The Lord waiteth when he may show his mercies: Let us turn unto him with an upright heart. So shall he turn to us: so shall we walk as the children of light, so shall we shine as the sun in the kingdom of our Father, so shall God be our God, and will abide with us for ever.
Whiles we haue time, let vs doe good: let vs seeke God whiles hee may bee founde. The Lorde wayteth when hee may shewe his mercies: Let vs turne vnto him with an vpright heart. So shall he turne to vs: so shal we walke as the children of light, so shall wee shine as the sunne in the kingdome of our Father, so shall God bee our God, and will abide with vs for euer.
And thou, O most merciful Father, we beseech thee for thy mercy sake, continue thy grace and favour towards us: let the sun of thy Gospel never go down out of our hearts, let thy trueth abide, and be stablished among us for ever. Help our unbelief, ⟨image 128⟩
