Alibris (the best price is $3.45). It is a 37-page booklet.
It was written in the last year of his life. He took it upon himself, sort of as a New Years resolution, to record his devotional thoughts each day for a month starting on January 1, 1629. He says on that date: "Such then is my intention, with the good help of my God, to keep my senses vigilant this whole year if the Lord spare me to live through it, and my eyes watchful to observe and to grasp all opportunities of doing and receiving good; that profiting thus by my time here below I may live hereafter with my God, without limit of time, in everlasting joy and glory, through Jesus Christ my Lord! Amen." On January 4, 1629 he turned 50 years old (he refers to that as his "jubilee"). He wrote the Preface for this work on February 6, 1629. On March 16, 1629 he fell ill and he went to be with Jesus on April 8, 1629.
