in holy confidence, I may be disposed to receive the orders of thy eternal providence; and may equally adore every dispensation, which will come to me from thy hand, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER XXXII.

In the Prospect of Death.

[Bp. Wilson. In my last hour, O Lord, I humbly beg thy protection from the busy suggestions of evil spirits. O let not my faith fail, my hope wither, or my charity wax cold with the waning flesh; but when mine eyes are darkened, and my tongue falters, then, O then, let my heart be enlarged towards thee, waiting on thee, longing for thee incessantly, and praying, Show me thy mercy, O Lord, and grant me thy salvation. Since my days are but as a span, short and uncertain, I humbly beseech thee, O Lord, to wean my heart from the disquietudes of worldly cares,

that I may be diligent in all the good works of obedience and charity, that so, recovering the spiritual health of my soul, I may die in thy grace and favour, through Jesus Christ.

Our Father, &c

EJACULATIONS,

CHIEFLY FROM THE SCRIPTURES

In the Morning.

WHAT shall I offer unto the Lord for his mercies renewed unto me every morning! The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Grant that I may continue in thy fear all the day long. May I keep thy statutes and observe thy laws.

Be with me this day in my going out and in my coming in. Make me watchful and circumspect in my walk and conversation. Put thy fear in my heart, O God, that I may be kept from sinning against thee.

In Conversation.

SET a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep thou the door of my lips.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be always accept able in thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

Preserve me, O God, from a vain conversation; give me grace never to be ashamed or afraid to speak of Thee and thy law.

In Temptation.

WHEN the enemy comes in like a flood, do thou, the Spirit of the Lord, lift up a standard against him; enable me to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?

Against any besetting Sin.

ENABLE me to lay aside every weight, and the sin that doth most easily beset

1

me; and to run with patience the race that is set before me, looking unto Jesus.

On falling into Sin.

HAVE mercy upon me, O God, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out mine iniquities.

When Evil Entreated.

GIVE me, O my God, a heart full of Christian meekness and charity, that I may willingly forget the evil I have received, and be always disposed to do good to others.

In difficult Circumstances.

I WILL lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Hear my prayers, O Lord, and let my cry come
