Luke 15:15-24 and he was reduced to want, which forc'd him to make his application to one of the inhabitants there, who sent him to his farm to look after his swine.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ and he was reduced to want, which forc'd him to make his application to one of the inhabitants there, who sent him to his farm to look after his swine. ¹⁶ for he would have been contented to have liv'd upon the carruways, with which they usually fed the swine: but nobody would supply him. ¹⁷ at length coming to himself, how many, said he, does my father keep in pay, who have bread in abundance, whilst I am dying here with hunger? ¹⁸ I will depart, and go to my father, and say to him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and against thee; ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called your son: treat me as one of your hir'd servants. ²⁰ so he departed and went to his father. but while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and mov'd with compassion, ran and threw himself upon his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ then the son said to him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and against you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son. ²² but the father said to his servants, bring hither the finest robe, and put it on him: put a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet. ²³ take the fatted calf, and kill it: let us eat and be merry: ²⁴ for this son of mine was dead, and is come to life: he was lost, and is found again. and then they began their feast.
