Benefit to themfelves, by preventing their Progrefs in Sin, and adminiftering Motives to their effectual Repentance; that fo the Death of the Body may be the Life of the Soul, and their Sufferings in this World the Means of their Happiness in the other. And may it be a Benefit to the World alfo, by terrifying other Sinners out of the Service of the Devil, and putting them on immediate and effectual Amendment. To thy boundless Compaffion, O rich Fountain of Grace and Goodnefs, we commit them; have Mercy upon them, have Mercy upon them! Let them fuffer all in this World, and accept of their Death as a juft Punishment for their Sins; and through the precious Blood and prevailing Merits of the bleffed Jefus, who died for the chief of Sinners, let them be delivered from Sufferings in the other World. In his Name, the Refuge of the Guilty, and Comfort of the Diftreffed, we cry for Mercy, Mercy! To whom with thee, O Father, and the Holy Spirit of Grace and Sanctification, be afcribed, as is most due, all Glory, Honour, Adoration, and Praise, both now and for ever. Amen. Our Father, &c.
