For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry.

For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him.

.….….….….….….….….….….….….….

For he keeps the Lord’s watch in the night against the Adversary.

For he counteracts the powers of Darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.

For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.

.….….….….….….….….….….….….….…

For he can creep.
