O that I may make improvement of this little little time, before I go hence and be no more. O let all mind what I am a saying now I'm going out of this world. O take warning by me, and beg of God to keep you from this sin which has been my ruin. [His last words were] O Lord, receive my Spirit, I come unto thee, O Lord, I come unto thee, O Lord, I come, I come, I come.
