Prayers of Jeremy Taylor 71
Conclusion
Eternal Lord, may my life not be unhappy or lived in poverty; nor
my name stained by sin and shame; nor my condition lifted up to
a tempting and dangerous fortune: but let my life be blessed, my
conversation useful to my neighbours and pleasing to you; so that
when my body shall finally sleep, my soul may pass into the regions
of light, and live with you for ever, through Jesus Christ. Amen.^242
