Overview

Excerpt from The Works of Symon Patrick, Vol. 8 of 9: Sometime Bishop of Ely, Including His Autobiography

This sermon being printed merely because many of you have desired it, I hope you intend it shall not lose its fruit, but be imprinted in your memories and on your heart. It is plain, as becomes the habit of a mourner; but what it wants in ornament, it makes up, I trust, in honest affections, and substantial endeavours to do you good; and if it be received into honest and good hearts, may conduce much to your happiness here and hereafter. I pray God it may; and beseech you every day to commit the custody of yourselves so seriously unto him in well-doing, that you may every one of you be able to say boldly, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me: nay, you may have that comfortable hope which St. Paul had, and say with him, 2 Tim. iv. 17, 18, I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion: and the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom. Amen.
