None shall measure out Thy patience
By the span of human thought;
None shall bound the tender mercies
Which Thy Holy Son has bought.
Pardon all my past transgressions,
Give me strength for days to come;
Guide and guard me with Thy blessing
Till Thy Angels bid me home.
Edinburgh: Printed by T. and A. CONSTABLE

[1] Sir Martin Archer Shee, P.R.A.
[2] When Winstanley had brought his work to completion, he is said to have
expressed himself so satisfied as to its strength, that he only wished he
might be there in the fiercest storm that ever blew. His wish was
gratified, and, contrary to his expectations, both he and the building
were swept completely away by a furious tempest which burst along the
coast in November 1703.
