Always Ready
Lord, be pleased to shake my clay cottage before Thou throwest it down. Make it totter awhile before it tumbles. Let me be summoned before I am surprised. Deliver me from sudden death; not from sudden death in respect to itself, for I care not how short my passage be, so it be safe… But let it not be sudden in respect of me. Make me always ready to receive death. Thus no guest comes unawares to him who keeps a constant table.
