sure. My heart accords to every part of it. Wilt thou guide us by
thy counsel while we live, and afterwards receive us to thy glory?
Amen and amen--do as thou hast said.

"If we forsake thy laws, and go astray; if we depart from thee
and break thy commandments, wilt thou visit our faults with rods, and
our sins with chastisements. Blessed promise; amen, Lord, do as thou
hast said: seeing thy loving-kindness is secured to us, and thou wilt
not cast us off from being thy people, nor alter that which thou hast
spoken; wilt thou keep us as the apple of thine eye? wilt thou cover
us with the shadow of thy wing? Art thou my Husband? art thou the
Father of my fatherless children? wilt thou be the stay of these
orphans, and their and my shield in a strange land? wilt thou perfect
what concerns us? wilt thou care for us? wilt thou _never leave us,
never forsake us_? in the valley of the shadow of death shall thy
rod and staff support us? What can thy servant say but, Amen, do as
thou hast said."
