ORIGEN.

IF my Father stood weeping upon his knees before me, and my Mother hanging on my neck behind, and all my Brethren, Sisters, Children, and Kins∣folks howling on every side, to retain me in a sinful life; I would fling my Mother to the ground, run o∣ver my Father, despise all my Kindred, and tread them under my feet, that I might run to Christ.

I am sayling with the Marriner, through the boy∣sterous Sea, but shortly I shall be in the haven, &c. Help me with your prayers.

To my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, my Hope and my Salvation, I wholly offer up my soul and body; I cast my self wholly upon his Mercy and Grace.
