 : Bible

She desired me to pray by her, and seemed quietly to join to the end: She heard divers Psalms, and a Chapter read, and repeated part, and sung part of a Psalm her self. The last words that she spake were, My God help me, Lord have mercy upon me.

Robert Parsons : Bunny's Resolution

'A poor day-labourer in the town ... had an old torn book which he lent my father, which was called "Bunny's Resolution"... And in the reading of this book (when I was about fifteen years of age) it pleased God to awaken my soul... And about that time it pleased God that a poor pedlar came to the door that had ballads and some good books; and my father bought of him Dr. Sib's "Bruised Reed". This I also read."
