may we be grateful to thee, the authour of them and may we transmit them pure and unimpared to the latest generations.

Pour down thy blessings on thy servant the president of the United States. Protect his person, prolong his life, and guide his counsels, that his government may be a blessing to those over whom he is placed.

We pray for all governours, judges and rulers, more particularly, the governour of this state, and the magistrates of this city. Teach them to rule in thy fear, and to thy glory; employing the power with which they are intrusted, as a terrour to evil-doers, and as an encouragement and protection to those who do well.

Bless, O God! this city and all its inhabitants. Let not our sins and follies provoke thee to visit us in wrath. Spare thy destroying sword; and restore us to our wonted health and prosperity.

Let not the Lord be angry, and we will yet further supplicate for the whole human race, the distressed and fallen family of mankind. See, O God! the afflictions of the afflicted! May the sigh of the prisoner come up before thee. Look down with compassion on the

sufferings of the just. Bend thine ear to the cry of the miserable. O, may thy kingdom come! May thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven! May ignorance, superstition, tyranny, bigotry and wrath cease for ever! May the mild genius of the gospel appear in the lives of its professours! May virtue again shine forth as in the days of old, and convert these abodes of sin and misery into mansions of holiness and peace!

May thy name be hallowed and thy glory advanced by all thy rational and moral offspring throughout thy vast universe, henceforth, even for ever more! AMEN.

FINIS.
