"And if it is your will to call for me in my sleep, Lord, have mercy upon me, and receive my soul into your heavenly kingdom.
But if you are pleased to add more days to my life, make those days even better than before. Wean my mind from the love of the world and worldly vanities, and cause me more and more to talk about heaven and heavenly things.
Perfect in me every day that good work which you have begun, to the glory of your name and the salvaiton of my sinful soul. Amen."
~ Lewis Bayly, Piercing Heaven
