1650.

[Written by Izaak Walton in his copy of Dr. Richard Sibbes's work, The
Returning Backslider, 4'10., 1650, preserved in the Cathedral Library,
Salisbury. See Sir Harris Nicolas' Memoir of Walton, clv.]

Of this blest man let this just praise be given,
Heaven was in him, before he was in heaven.
IZAAK WALTON.
