LORD, I desire no other Portion but thee; take the Corn and the Wine and the Oil whoso will! So I may have the light of thy Countenance. I pitch upon Thee for my Happiness. I gladly venture my self on Thee, and trust ⟨p. 38⟩my self with Thee; I set my hopes in Thee; I take my Rest with Thee. Let me hear Thee say, I am thy GOD and thy Salvation, and I have enough; All I wish for! I will make no Terms with thee, but for Thy self. Let me but have Thee sure, let me be able to make my Claim and see my Title to Thy self; and for other things I leave them to Thee, give me more or less, any thing or nothing; I will be satisfied in my GOD!
