Min. GOD Accept you. Oh! That ⟨p. 27⟩your SAVIOUR, might now say to you, as He said in a Dying Hour, unto One, who died as a Thief, This Day thou shalt be with me in Paradise. I do with some Encouragement leave you in His Glorious Hands.
Ho. O my dear JESUS! I Lay hold on thee; and I resolve, never, never, to let thee go!
Min. May He help you to keep your Hold, of the Hope set before you.
Ho. My Death this Afternoon, 'tis nothing, 'tis nothing; Tis the wrath of a terrible GOD after Death abiding on me, which is all that I am afraid of.
Min. There is a JESUS, who delivers from the Wrath to come; With Him I Leave you.
