cohesion must be forgiven in consideration of the excellence 

 of the sentiments expressed. 



" God bless my parents evermore 

 Who doth for me provide 

 Let Grace and Virtue ever be 

 My constant aim and guide 



For little trifles do not take oft'ence 

 It shows great pride and very little sense 

 God's nature and good sense must always be 

 To err is human to forgive divine." 



Sampler, Dated 1834 



The verse and signature in another sampler ran thus- 



"In thy fair Book of Life divine 

 My God inscribe my name 

 Then let me fill some humble place 

 Beneath the Slaughtered Lamb. 



Emma Scull, aged 6 years."
