- (continued from previous page)And you shall never be troubled by a toothache again.
And whoever shall keep these words, and writings in remembrance of me, and believe in them,
never shall be troubled by a toothache again.
- IVSix days we toil for earthly bread,
The seventh our souls with prayer are fed,
Then let this day to God be given.
Let's raise our souls from earth to heaven.
In time from God we received our birth,
All living things in this flowery earth,
The spangled sky, the moon and sun,
He spoke the word and all was done.
Angels, Godlike, a numerous throng,
From his unbounded goodness sprung.
Man's body from the clay he formed,
Which He with Godlike soul adorned
Poor man thy vicious will control,
And strive to save the precious soul.
What comfort's in this present state,
If heaven be not thy future seat.
The God who made thee for himself,
Despises all worldly pomp and pelf.
The chief concern through life should be.
To gain the bliss prepared for thee
Be then thy duty, then thy joy.(continues on next page) - Collector
