Seaventy six dozen moones and odd
a Stewardship I held of God.
of wch when he accompt did call pale
death me nothinge did appale
because the judge (severe of late)
is now become myne advocate;
who having fully payd and pray'd
both for my sinnes and saving ayde
(sterne Justice and mild mercy meeting
and trueth and peace each other greeting)
guided my soul by heavenly love
to raygne for aye with God above
