Magdalene College - Pepys
| A Letter for a Christian Family. / Directed to all true Christians to Read. / Which being sealed up in heart and mind, / Nothing but truth in it you'l find. / Both old and young, both Rich and Poor, / Bear it in mind, keep it in store: / And think upon the time to come, / For time doth pass, the Glass doth run, / Therefore whilst thou hast time and space, / Call to the Lord above for Grace, / Then he will surely thee defend, / And thou shalt make a happy end. | |
