EVENING EXERCISES

FOR THE

CLOSET:

FOR

EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR.

BY WILLIAM JAY.

"Not to know at large of things remote
From use, obscure, and subtle, but to know
That which before us lies in daily life,

Is the prime wisdom. What is more is fume,

Emptiness, or fond impertinence;

And renders us, in things that most concerns
Unpractis'd, unprepar'd, and still to seek."

"Thy word is everlasting truth,
How pure is every page!

That Holy Book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age."

MILTON.

my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD."
