“Go then, my little Book, and show to all
Adapted from John Bunyan
That entertain and bid welcome shall,
What thou dost keep close shut up in breast;
And wish what thou dost show them may be blest
To them for good, may make them choose to be
better, by far, than thee or me.
Tell them of Mercy; she is one
Who early her begun.
Yea, let young learn of her to prize
The world which is to come, and so be wise;
For little tripping may follow God
Along the ways which saintly feet have .”
