Be humble, mild, forgiving, just and true, sincere to all, respectful unto you,
while as becomes you, sacred truths you teach, and live those sermons you to others preach. With want of duty none shall us upbraid, Where-ever 'tis due, it shall be nicely paid. Honor and Love we'll to our Husbands give, And ever constant and Obedient live, If they are Ill, we'll try by gentle ways to lay those tempests which their pa**ions raise,but if our soft submissions are in vain, we'll bear our fate, and never once complain, unto our friends the tenderness kindness show, we wholly theirs, no separate Interest know, with them their dangers and their Sufferings share, and make their persons, and their fame our care. The poor we'll feed, to the distressed be kind, and strive to comfort each afflicted Mind.
Visit the sick, and try their pains to ease, not without grief the meanest wretch displease, and by a goodness as diffused as light, to the pursuit of virtue all invite. Thus will we live, regardless of your hate, till re-admitted to our former state, where, free from the confinement of our clay In glorious bodies we shall bask in day, and with enlightened minds new scenes survey. Scenes, much more bright than any here below, and we shall then the whole of nature know, see all her springs, her secret turnings view, and be as knowing, and as wise as you. with generous spirits of a Make Divine, In whose blessed minds celestial virtues shine, whose reason, like their station, is sublime, and who see clearly thro' the mists of time, those puzzling glooms where busy Mortals stray, and still grope on, but never find their way.
