May thy Kingdom come, may true Chriftianity univerfally prevail, and may Jews and Gentiles, Turks and Infidels, be all united under one Shepherd, even our Lord Jefus Chrift, Whom to know is Life eternal. How long, O Lord holy and true, fhall the Faith once delivered to the Saints, in Truth and Purity, be perverted and corrupted by human Inventions, and thy holy Laws be made void by vain and groundlefs Traditions? Arife, O God, and plead thine own Cause againft all Idolatry, Superftition, Wickednefs, and Impofition upon Confcience : Put a fpeedy End to the Miferies and Calamities of this lower World, occafioned by the reftlefs Pride and Ambition of ungodly Rulers, that the Peace and Happinefs of human Society may no longer be disturbed by the inferior Government of Men: Let Nation no longer contend against Nation, neither let them war any more; but let there be Abundance of Peace in the Earth, as long as the Sun and Moon fhall endure : And honor with particular Marks of thy Favor all Kings and Governors, who fhew a juft Regard to the Rights of Mankind, and make it, their conftant fincere Endeavor to answer the true Ends of their Inftitution.

Preferve us from the Power and Malice of the Devil, from the evil Designs of wicked Men, and from every Danger to which we are exposed; and grant us all thofe Things, that may be conducive to our eternal Welfare. Forgive whatever thy pure Eyes have feen amifs in our Conduct before Thee at this Time; and let this our Evening Sacrifice of Prayer and Praise be acceptable in thy Sight, O Lord our Strength and our Redeemer.
