Enable me, O Lord, by thy Grace, chearfully to fubmit to thy Will in all thy Difpenfations, and readily to perform all thy Commands. Give me that heavenly Zeal to thy Service, wherewith the bleffed Angels of thy Prefence are infpired, that I may never be weary of well-doing nor flacken my Endeavours after the Attainment of everlasting Life; but obeying thee with the like Fervour and Alacrity that they do, I may be joined with them to fing eternal Praises to God, and to the Lamb for ever.

O Lord, vouchfafe me that continual Supply of thy Grace and Holy Spirit, which may sustain and nourish my Soul unto Life eternal; and be thou pleafed alfo to provide for my Body, whatever in thy great Wisdom feeft to be fitting for me.

O Lord! I confefs I have, by my Sins, rendered myself unworthy of the daily Bread thou feedeft me withal; but, Q let thy tender Mercies abound towards me, in the Forgiveness of all my Sins; and fince I G 5 have

have much to be forgiven myself, make me always ready to forgive others likewife, and to endeavour, as much as is poffible, to be merciful, even as thou my Father in Heaven art merciful.

But because the Frailty of Man without thee cannot but fall, O do thou ftrengthen me against the many Temptations which daily affault me; leave me not under the Power and Dominion of Sin, but fave me, and deliver me for thy Mercy's Sake in Jefus Christ our Lord; to whom with thee, O Father, and the Holy Ghost, be all Glory, Honour, Power and Dominion, throughout all Ages. Amen.
