A COPT of Choice VERSES.

Onfider Reader as you look,

How ſuddenly the Soul was took;

Pray take Warning by her Fall,

And be ready at CHRIST's Call.

Death little Warning to me gave,

But quickly ſent me to my Grave,

O haſte to CHRIST, make no delay,

For no one knows his dying Day,

Death doth not always Warning give,

Therefore be careful how you live;

Learn to die, for die you muſt,

And die to live amongſt the Juſt,

When ſickneſs comes, the night you think it long.

From watch to watch, the morning cometh on

Before night come make uſe of precious light

Before Death enter with his ghoſtly Sight.

Repent in Time your Lives amend,

Death will come your Lives to end,

See that you all Times prepared be,

That ſudden Death ſurprize not thee.

Adorn your Souls with Grace, prize Wiſdom

Than all the Pearls on the Indian Shore;

Think not to live ſtill free from grief & ſorrow more

The Man that lives to-day may die to-morrow
