'There is no exercise that I had rather live and die in, than singing praises to our Redeemer and Jehovah, while I might in the Holy Assemblies, and now when I may not, as Paul and Silas, in my bonds, and my dying pains, which are far heavier than my bonds. Lord Jesus, receive my praise and supplications first, and lastly, my departing soul. Amen.'

RICHARD BAXTER,

Preface to Version of the Psalms, 1692.
