A Grey Head and a Carnal Worldly
Heart by James Michael Hitherto I have looked upon myself as
young and coming to the prime of my life, but henceforth I
shall consider myself as in my declining years. I am certain
how long I have lived in the world, but quite uncertain how
soon I must leave the world, and therefore I should be preparing
for my final departure, and daily be ripening for the regions of
bliss. A young man and a holy life,
One in his prime and all his graces flourishing, Is lovely
to behold. But a grey head and a carnal
worldly heart Is a wounding sight. Henceforth be gone, bewitching
vanities, And all the enchantments of the world. The last years
of my life are not to be trifled away with you. Death attends
me, the grave awaits me, Eternity is at hand. This Puritan devotional has been
