VII. Let thy good Spirit be my blessed Guide, And in thy House let me for ever dwell; From Gospel-Truths O let me never slide, Nor find my Conscience like another Hell: And I thy Name for evermore shall praise And happy be when I shall end my Days.
VIII. Lord whatsoever my Estate is here, With sweet Submission let me be content, When I am most troubled, then be thou most near, And never from me thy dear self absent: This will my prostrate Spirit highly raise, And if I suffer, to thy Name be praise.

IX. Teach me, I pray thee, that Celestial Skill, My Days to number, as thy Saints have done; Let me still yield unto thy blessed Will, And wait upon thee till my Glass be run: So shall my Raptured Tongue thy praise proclaim And sing Hosanna's to thy Glorious Name.
