several spots of his vineyard here and there with the refreshing rain of his fpirit: And that he would continue, increase, and spread the shower, until the whole gar den be watered; that fo our dry ground may become a green pasture, and our wilderness bloffom as the rofe. That in his free mercy he would forgive our great ingratitude for former kindness, preferve us from the errors, power and cruelty of Papifts, and avert these black clouds of wrath which now threaten us; and that, inftead of pouring out the vials of indignation on us which we deferve, he would pour out a fpirit of repentance and reformation upon all degrees of men, from the highest to the lowest. That amidft the reelings, fhakings, backflidings and divifions of these times, he would preferve pure religion, and support all those who who defire to cleave to the Lord Jefus, love him in fincerity, and witness for his truths and ways. That he would encourage them under all their difcouragements, and keep them from being carried down the ftream of defection with others. That he would unite the hearts and minds of all that defire honeftly to witnefs against the evils of the day, and help them to temper their zeal with knowledge, wisdom, and meeknefs; and graciously forgive all those who fail in this refpect, rectify their mistakes, and honour them to be inftruments of his glory in the land." This is and fhall be the earnest prayer of July 9th, 1744. Jo. WILLISON. This Adherence to this Teftimony was figned at Hefpieshaw in Teviotdale, on the 26th of July 1744, by THO. HARDIE, Elder.
