A restitution of our being into the hands of God.

3. O my Soveraign Creatour, will restore you the being you have given me, & for this end, I accept of death, in the manner that shall be most pleasing to you, & be most to your glory: Dispose therefore of your creature, & destroy this body of sin, in punishment of the offences, it has committed against your divine majesty: That this body may return to the earth from whence it came, but that my soul created after thy image, may return to your bosome.
