O Lord, this life is but a troublesome Pilgrimage:1 few in days, but full in evils; and I am weary of it, by reason of my sins. Let me therefore (O Lord) entreat thy Majesty in this my bed of sickness: as Elijah did under the Juniper tree in his affliction; 2It is now enough, O ⟨p. 945⟩Lord, that I have lived so long in this vale of misery; take my f•ule into thy merciful hands, for I am no better then my Fathers.
