FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM; AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER AND

EVER. AMEN.

To Thee, to Thee alone, and to Thy Son, and Holy Spirit, be glory forever and ever.

EVENING.

Amen.

Let my prayer be fet forth in thy fight, as incenfe; and let the lifting up of my hands be, as an evening facrifice.

THAT it hath pleafed God to add another day to the years of my life; that none of hist judgemnts, to which for my fins I am liable, have fallen upon me; that by his grace he hath kept me from all fcandalous fins, and from the dangers of an evil world; that he has given me occafions of doing good, and grace to make use of them; that he hath fupplied me and my family with the neceffaries of this life, and with means of attaining a better; Accept, O God, my unfeigned thanks for these, and for all the mercies, from day to day bestowed upon me. Add this to all thy favors, I beseech Thee, that I may never forget to be thankful.

Poffefs my heart with fo deep a fense of my obligations and dependence upon Thee for life, and health, and grace, and falvation, that reli gion may be my delight as well, as my duty.

But that I may ferve Thee with a quiet mind, forgive me the things, whereof my confcience

is afraid, and avert the judgments, which I have justly deferved. Remember not the offences of my youth; and in mercy blot out those of my riper years. Pardon my fins of the day paft, and of my life past, and grant that they may never rife in judgment against me. Amen.

1 John ii. 1. If any man fin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jefus Chrift the righteous, and he is the propitiation for our fins.

O most powerful Advocate, I put my cause into thy hands, let thy blood and merits plead for me; and by thy mighty interceffion procure for me a full discharge of all my fins.

John v. 14.

come unto thee.

Sin no more, left a worse thing

Lord, the frailty of man without Thee cannot but fall. In all temptations therefore I befeech Thee to fuccour me, that no fin may ever get dominion over me.

Pfa. xci. 1. Whofo dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

May the Almighty God take me, my family, my relations, my friends, my benefactors, and my enemies, under his gracious protection! Give his holy angels charge concerning us; preferve us from the prince and powers of darkness, and from the dangers of the night; and keep us in perpetual peace and fafety; through Jefus Chrift our Lord! Amen.

Hear me, O God, not according to my weak understanding, but according to the full import of that Holy Prayer, which Jefus Chrift has

taught us, and which I prefume to offer;
Our Father, who art in Heaven, &c.

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

God will be glorified in the falvation of fouls. If the Almighty God were not my Father, I might expect vengeance instead of mercy.

May I fhow by my life that GOD is my father.. This earth is not the inheritance of the children of GOD.

Bleffed be God, who dealeth not with us with the authority of a lord over his fervants, but with the tenderness of a father over his children.

THY KINGDOM COME.

I own Thee for my King; do Thou make and own me for thy faithful fubject. Enlarge thy kingdom for the honor of thy great name. May I preserve thy kingdom within me, the government of thy Spirit. Bring me into fubjection to thyself by thy grace.

THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS

IN HEAVEN.

That Thou mayest have a church on earth as obedient to thy will, as that is in heaven.

may

O Heavenly Father, fubdue in me whatever is contrary to thy holy will. Grant that I ever study to know thy will, that I may know how to please Thee.

Thy will, O God, is the perfection of justice; let me never prefcribe to Thee, what Thou oughtest to give me. What Thou willeft, we

may be fure, is best for us; we cannot be fure of what we will for ourselves. Hearken not to the corrupt defires of my heart, but to the voice of thy own mercy.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.

Yes, my God, I will have recourfe to Thee daily; for on Thee I depend for life, and breath, and grace, and all things.

Give me a true understanding and love for Thy Word, the bread which nourisheth to eternal life. For Thou, O Lord, haft taught us, not to seek that bread, which perisheth, but that, which endureth to eternal life.

AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THEM, WHO TRESPASS

AGAINST US.

May I ever show mercy to men, that I may receive it from Thee, my God. Do I value my foul, and think this too hard a condition? Thou art all mercy to me; grant that I may be all merciful to my brethren for thy fake, O Father.

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,

BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For thou knoweft our infirmities, and the power and malice of our enemies. Thou knoweft how to deliver the godly out of temptation.

Grant, O God, that I may never run into those temptations, which in my prayers I defire to avoid. Vouchfafe me the gift of perfeverance, on which my eternal happiness depends. Lord, never permit my trials to be above my ftrength.

O Holy Spirit of Grace, be not wanting to me in the hour of temptation; and in all temptations give us power to refift and overcome. Leave us not in the power of evil fpirits. Support us under all our faving trials and troubles. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER

AND EVER. AMEN.

Let thy fatherly compaffion grant what the Son of thy love has encouraged us to pray for. By thy almighty power make good, whatever is defective in me.

EXAMINATION.

Ecclef. xvii. 20. Before judgment examine thyfelf; and in the day of vifitation thou shalt find

mercy.

Discover to me, O thou Searcher of hearts, whatever is amiss in me, whether in life or principle.

DEATH.

From fudden, unprepared death, good Lord deliver me, my family, and all, that defire my prayers. May we never be furprised in fin; and may thy mercy fupply, whatever fhall be wanting in our preparation for death!

With the fubmiffion of a penitent finner under the righteous fentence of death, paffed upon all mankind, I beg that I may fo live, that I may with joy refign my life to Thee, O Father, trusting in thy mercy and goodnefs, and promifes
