that will love life, and fee good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. Let him efchew evil, and do good. Let him feek peace, and enfue it."

Give me, O Lord, a wife, a fober, a ferious, a religious heart.

Preferve me from evil councils, and rash enterprizes. O make thy way plain before my face.

Support me this day under all the difficulties I fhall meet with.

I offer myself to Thee, O God, this day, to do in me, and with me, as to Thee feems most meet.

Vouchfafe me, gracious God, the fpirit of adoption, whereby I may cry Abba, Father, and apply to Thee, through Jefus Chrift, not as an angry judge, but as to a merciful and loving father.

Remember, that the life of man is only to be valued for its usefulfs.

This is my commandment, that ye love one another.

O Thou, who haft given me this command and pattern, give me a fincere defire of following, and grace and power to do it.

And the prayer of faith fhall fave the fick: and the Lord fhall raife him up; and if he have committed fins, be fhall be abfolved, [i. e. upon his confeffion.]

O Lord of life and death! have mercy upon all those who are vifited with fickness; fanctify this thy fatherly correction, that they may search their ways, and fee whence this vifitation cometh. Have mercy upon all that are appointed to die, and grant that they omit nothing that is neceffary to make their peace with Thee, and that they may be delivered from death eternal. And God grant that we may apply our hearts to that holy and heavenly wisdom, while we live here, which

may in the end bring us to life everlafting, through Jefus Chrift our Lord. Amen.

NOON.

I exhort that first of all, fupplications, prayers, interceffions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. FOR we are all of one blood. And Charity, that more excellent way, is a tender affection for the whole creation of God.

O God, almighty and merciful, let thy fatherly kindness be upon all whom Thou haft made. Hear the prayers of all that call upon Thee; open the eyes of them that never pray for themselves; pity the fighs of fuch as are in mifery; deal merciful with them that are in darkness; and increase the number of the graces of fuch as fear and ferve Thee daily.

Preferve this land from the misfortunes of war;-this church from all dangerous errors; this people from forgetting Thee, their Lord and benefactor. Be gracious to all thofe countries that are made defolate by the fword, famine, peftilence, or perfecution. Blefs all perfons and places to which thy providence has made me a debtor; all who have been inftrumental to my good by their affistance, advice, or example; and make me in my turn useful to others. Let none of those that defire my prayers want thy mercy; but defend, and comfort, and conduct them through, to their lives' end. "In every thing give thanks; for "this is the will of God, in Christ Jefus, concerning you."

Caufe us, O God, to profit by all the vifitations of thy grace and mercy. "It becometh well the just to be "thankful."

O Lord and Father, I am not

worthy of the least of all thy mercies, which Thou haft fhewed thy fervant, neither can I render due thanks and praise for them; but, O Lord, accept of this my facrifice of praife and thanksgiving.

For all the known, and for all the unobferved favours, deliverances, vifitations, opportunities of doing good, chaftifements, and graces of thy Holy Spirit, vouchfafed to me, I blefs thy good providence; beseeching Thee to pardon my ingratitude, that I have paffed fo many days and years without obferving, and without acknowledging, thy great goodness to thy unworthy servant.

For when I foberly confider my dependence upon Thee, for my life, welfare, health of body, peace of mind, grace, comfort, and falvation, I ought to be very thankful.

Glory be to God, my Creator; glory be to Jefus, my Redeemer; glory be to the Holy Ghoft, my
