  • Before
    We end our pilgrimage, 'tis fit that we
    Should leave corruption, and foul sin, behind us,
    But with wash'd feet and hands, the heathens dar' not
    Enter their profane temples; and for me
    To hope my passage to eternity
    Can be made easy, till I have shook off
    The burthen of my sins in free confession,
    Aided with sorrow, and repentance for them,
    Is against reason.
