8. Edward the Sixth died when he was sixteen years old. He was beloved
by all, for his goodness and piety. His mind was calm and serene in his
sickness.
9. If you are not tired of my story, I will tell you part of a prayer
which he used often to say, when on his dying bed.
10. "My Lord God, if thou wilt deliver me from this miserable life, take
me among thy chosen. Yet not my will, but thy will, be done. Lord, I
commit my spirit unto thee. Thou knowest how happy it were for me to be
with thee. Yet, if thou shouldst send me life and health, grant that I
may truly serve thee."
11. Children, you should do like King Edward, reverence your Bible, and
love to pray to God.
