The PRIEST.

Reading edition

I myself also am a mortal Man, like to all.

Wisdom vii. 1.

Illustration from Emblems of Mortality; representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, death seizing all ranks and degrees of people

The holy Sacrament, behold, Celestial Gift, I bear, The sick Man, at the Hour of Death, With certain Hope to cheer. Ev’n I myself am mortal too, And the same Laws obey, And shall like him, when Time shall come, To Death be made a Prey.
