“This Booke containes the names of mortall men; But thear’s a Booke with characters of golde, Not writ with incke, with pensill, or with pen, Wheare Gode’s elect for ever are inrolde, The Booke of Life; wheare labor thou to bee, Beefore this Booke hath once re-gistred thee.”
From a Church Register.
