O caufe us all the days of our lives , to comfort our [elves and one another with thefe wot?ds , That we Mall for ever be with our glorified Lord , more than with tile poffeIlion or hopes of Life , or Health , or Wealth , or any thing which Earth af- fordeth.

Teach us to woríhip thee fpiritually and ac- ceptably through Chrift : To reverence thy Name , and Word, and Ordinance, and to fantifie thy Holy Day : To honour our Superiours , and behave our felves aright to our Equals and Inferiors : To wrong none in their Bodies , Chaftity , Elates , or Names ; But to do as we would be done by : To love our Neighbours as our felves : To love and forgive our Enemies , and thole that do us wrong. Caufe us to hate and over- come our felfifhnefs pride, fenfuality , worldlinefs, hypocrite , andall our fleíhly lulls, which fight againít the Spirit , and are odious in thy fight. Help us to govern our thoughts , affelions , fenfes , appetites , words andaftions , by thy Word and Spirit : to labour faithfully in our Callings to flit from idlenefs ; and yet to be contented with our daily bread. Prepare us for all Sufferings, withfaith, hope and patience. Caufe tUs
