A MORN

Holy Spirit to them that afk it; I am em. boldened to implore his divine Affistance to ftrengthen my Weakness, to help my Infirmities, and fo to fortify my Mind, that I may not be tempted above what I am able to bear, nor feduced from my Duty to thee, by the deceitful Inticements of the World, the Flesh, or the Devil.

Root out of my Heart, O God, all Pride and Vain-glory; all Bitterness and Uncharitableness; all Envy, Hatred, and Malice; and fuffer me not to be led away by any of the foolish Customs and falfe Maxims of this World. And, O merciful Father, be thou pleased, of thy great Goodness, to endue me with that Wisdom which is from above, which is first pure, and then peaceable; with that Meeknefs and Humility, which is in thy Sight of fo great Price; and with that truly Chriftian Temper and Difpofition, which thou lovest and delight_

eft in.

Lord, fanctify unto me all thy fatherly Difpenfations, and let every Thing, Thou fhalt think fit to fend me, prove a Blef fing and Advantage to my Soul. Give

me Grace to be entirely fubmiffive and contented under all the Afflictions, Trials, and Difappointments, which thy Wisdom fhall judge proper in order to bring me to thyfelf; and grant that by every Adversity that fhall befall me, I may be weaned from this World, and more closely united unto thee.

Make me always mindful of my own Frailty; of the Shortnefs and Uncertainty of this Life; and of the Eternity of the next. Give me Grace fo to live, as I fhall with I had done when I come to die. Let not Sickness or Death ever furprize me unawares, or find me in a State unprepared; but grant that I may finish the great Work, which thou haft given me to do, before the Night cometh, when no man can work. O let me live in fuch a conftant Preparation for my latter End, that how suddenly soever thou shalt be pleased to take me out of this World, I may be found ready for my great Account, through the Merits of my bleffed Saviour and Redeemer Jefus Christ.
