My Resolution.
Writ and Sung, on this Occasion. Job I. 21. Naked came I out of my Mothers womb, and Naked shall I return thither The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken a way; Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
I Stripped of Earthly Comforts am: Stripped let me duly Mourn: Naked from Earth at first I came; And Naked I return.
I Strip't of Earthly Comforts am: Strip't let me duely Mourn: Naked from Earth at first I came; And Naked I return.
What, but Gifts from Above were they? GOD gave them unto me. And now they Take their Flight away, Taken by GOD they be.
