The hidden manna i do eat, the word of life it is my meat (1). Do good to all, especially to the household of faith (2). God Almighty in his most holy and wise providence, hath so disposed of the Condition of mankind, as in all times some must be rich, some poor, some high and eminent in power and dignity; others mean and in subjection (2). Therefore let us choose life, that we and our seed may live by obeying His voice and cleaving to Him, for He is our life and our prosperity (2). Thy love is such I can no way repay; the heavens reward thee maifold, I pray (1). Oh, I may see the wonderfull power of God, that my Spirit did not utterly sink under my affliction: still the Lord upheld me with his gracious and mercifull Spirit (3).
