On the View of the Fence about the Ground.

Lord; Thou hast in thy Law ordered a Fence to be about me. I Bless thee, I Praise thee, I Love thee, for such a Fence. Tis infinitely for my Advantage to be Fenced so. But, Oh! Let me by my continual Watchfulness keep up the Fence: And let there be no Inroad of Wild Things upon me. If I permit any sinful Temptations to break in upon me, what Mischiefs will be done unto me! My Soul is the Field of a Man void of Understanding, if the Stone-wall thereof be broken down!
