Chapter 38

To the Reader

R Ightly conceiue me, and obserue me well,

I Doe what heere is done for Childrens good,

C Hrist in his Gospell (as S. Marke doth tell)

H Ath not forbidden Children, nor withstood

A Ny that should but aske the ready way,

R Egarding Children, not to say them nay.

D Irecting all that came, how faith should be,

W Hat they should crave of Gods high Majestie,

E Ven Salvation, through their faithful Prayer,

S Ending their contemplations into the ayre,

T O his high throne, whose love so guide us all

E Ven to the end we neuer cease to call.
