Sect. XCVII. A Christian Salutation.

WHen a man first comes to a house, we use to say, you are welcome, when he is parting away, God speed you, or fare you well; when we meet with him on the high way, God save you: So when we see a man born, we may say, you are wel∣come; for he is but newly come▪ When we see one under forty, God keep you for he is at the best: but if past forty, God speed you, or, fare you well; for he is going out of the world.

Lord, I am alwayes go∣ing out of the world: there∣fore, grant me a prosperous journey, and a happy arri∣vall; teach me betimes to take my leave of all, and to follow thee; let me never look back to the Sodom of sin, till I come to the mountain of happy felici∣ty, through him and by him who is the way, the truth and the life.
