Page:(Ane hundred) godly lessons that a mother on her death-bed gave to her children.pdf/8

[8] Who brooks no Warning, hates his Soul,

true Old Age worſhip right,

A patient Man far better is,

than one endu’d with Might.

Mens Credit comes by doing Good.

an humble Mind indeed,

Is better than a Lyar proud,

from whence vain brags proceed.

By this dear Children, you may learn

hew to direct your Ways,

To GOD, your Prince, and Country too

wherein your Welfare ſlays.

Print well in your Remembrance,

the Leſſons I have ſhown,

Then ſhall you live in happy ſtate,

when I am dead and gone.
