Question
What is thy only comfort in Life and Death?
Answer
That both in Soul and1Body, whether I live or dye,2I am not mine own, but3belong wholly unto my most faithful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: who by his most precious Blood4fully satisfying for all my Sins, hath5delivered me from all the power of the Devil, and so6preserveth me, that without the will of my Heavenly Father not so much as an Hair may7fall from my Head; yea all things8must serve for my safety: wherefore by his Spirit also he9assureth me of everlasting Life, and10maketh me ready and prepared, that henceforth I may live to him.
