30. Storms, Winds and Waves, so beats on me
I'm ready for to Choke,
Yet God most high me safely keeps,
They dash against a Rock.1
⟨p. 44⟩31. When I think on these Latter Days
As the Apostles hath us told,
How they were esteemed as Scurf of Earth,
And Gazing-stock in the World.2
32. To see how Carnal Worldlings Jumps
About their Earthly Toys,
O Christians draw you near your God,
No Stranger knows your Joys.3
33. To talk with Carnal Worldly Men,
Their Words are soft as Silk,
But speak of Fundamental Truths,
Like Babes, they need of Milk.4
34. O beg for Charity from above
To Love thy Brethren now,
For Faith, and Works, and all, shall fail,
But Charity goes throw.5
35. Thou that desires on Earth a Blessed End,
And seeks the Heavens to ascend,
This Promise sweeter unto me
Than all the Wicked's Mirth,
It feeds me Jacob's Heritage,
I ride on highest Earth.6
36. If thou keep wicked Company
I plainly to thee tell,
Thou art riding Post undoubtedly
Unto the Gates of Hell.7
37. Whatever Business thou takes in Hand
Quick do not prove a S•••l,
For wherefore should a Price be put
Into the Hands of a Fool.8
38. If thou would Prosper in thy Way
Bring Treasures […] of Sands,
Seek God alone establisheth
The working of thy Hands.9
⟨p. 45⟩39. In all Things here beneath the Sun
A Man may run excess,
But seek to glorify God in all thy Ways
Thou never can fully express.10
