"Do with me henceforth as Thou wilt.
I am of one mind with Thee, I am Thine.
I decline nothing that seems good to Thee.
Send me whither Thou wilt.
Clothe me as Thou wilt.
Will thou that I take office or live a private life, remain at home or go into exile, be poor or rich, I will defend Thy purpose with me in respect of all these."
