I came once and twice, and thrice to fave thee from the Poifon of those Arrows that would have wrought thy Death; ftand for me, my Friend, my Manfoui, against the Diabolonians, and I will ftand for thee before my Father, and all his Court, Love me against Temptation, and I will love thee notwithstanding thine Infirmities. O my Manfoul, remember what my Captains, my Soldiers, and mine Engines have done for thee. They have fought for thee, they have born much at thy Hands to do thee good, O Manfoul. Hadft thou not had them to help thee, Diabolus had certainly made a Hand of thee. Nourish them therefore, my Mansoul. • When thou doft well, they will be well, when thou doft ill, they will be ill, and fick, and weak. Make not my Captains fick, O Manfoul, for if they be fick thou canst not be well; if they be weak, thou canft not be ftrong; if they be faint, thou canst not be ⚫ftout and valiant for thy King, O Manfoul. Nor must thou think always to live by Senfe, thou must live up. on my Word. Thou muft believe, O my Manfoul, • when I am for thee, that yet I love and bear thee upon mine Heart for ever. Remember therefore, O my Mansoul, that thou art • beloved of me; as I have therefore taught thee to watch, to fight, to pray, and to make War against my Foes, fo now I command thee to believe that my Love is conftant to thee, O my Manfoul, how have I fet my Heart, my Love upon thee, watch, Behold, "I lay, none other burden upon thee, than what thou haßt already, bold faft till I come. 6 4 FINI S. |
