O that I were as in months past O that God would re- establish me in that happy condition wherein I was some time ago; in the days when God preserved me From all those miseries which now I feel, and when I seemed to be a principal part of his care! You would then pay a greater regard to my words than you do now in my adversity. When his candle shined upon my head When his favour and blessing attended me, to comfort and direct me. And when by his light I walked through darkness Passed through many difficulties, dangers, and common calamities which befell others who lived near me, and overcame those troubles which happened to myself.
