Show Prayer. I have seeu a lark rise from his bed nf grass, and soaring inwards, singing sing-ing as he rise-", and hopes to got to heaven, and ihmb above the clouds; but tho poor bird was beaten back wl'n tho lou'i nlghlnga of an eastern wind, and his motion made Irregular and Inconsistent, descending more at even breath of the tempest, than It could recover by tho vibration and freipient weighings of his wings, till the llttlu cieaturo was forced to sit down and pant, and stay till tho storm was over; and then It madu a proaper-oils proaper-oils Hlght. and did rise and slug, aa If It had learned music and motion from an angel, as he passnl vometlmea through thu air, about his ministries here bolow. So 'is tho prayer of a good man. Jeremy Taylor. |
