Day by day we magnify thee, O Lord, who makest every day of our lives still a further addition to thy mercies. We bless thee for our last night's preservation and protection, and for the rest and refreshment which thou hast given us therein. O cause us to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do we trust ; cause us to know the way wherein we shall go for we lift up our souls to thee. Cast us not away from thy presence; take not thy holy Spirit from us; but direct all our ways to please thee our God, that thou mavest crown us with blessing and good success. Help us to see thy power, to own thy presence, to admire thy wisdom, and to love thy goodness to all thy creatures. And by all the comforts of creatures; O draw our hearts still nearer to thyself, the blessed Creator of every comfort; and let our meditations of God be sweet as well as frequent, that delighting ourselves in the Lord, thou mayest give unto us the desires of our heart. Such thy mercy and grace we beg for ourselves, and all ours, and thine, every where, in our great: Mediator's form of prayer.

Our Father, &c.

A sixth Morning Prayer.

WE de her thy heavenly glorious Majesty,

E do here present ourselves this morning

most blessed Lord our God, with the desire of our souls, to pay unto thee that tribute of homage, service, prayer, and praise, which thou hat made us capable of, and every way obligus to. We desire to perform the same in

such a manner that thou mayest mercifully accept us and our services, at the hands of Jesus Christ. In his great name we come to thee, at thy command, and worship here at thy footstool, to beg thy pardon and peace, the increase of thy grace, and the tokens of thy love. For we are not worthy that thou shouldst, in any way of mercy, take notice of us, or be intreated by us: but worthy is the Lamb of God, slain to take away the sins of the world, for whose sake thou shouldst mercifully look upon us; for he has fulfilled those holy laws, which we have broken, and perfectly satisfied the justice of heaven, for all our breaches of them. And in him thou art a God gracious and merciful to poor sinners who deserve nothing from thee, but to be forsaken and abhorred by thee. Unto us belong shame and confusion of face for our sins, and fearful expectation of all the judgments and miseries which thy holy laws denounce against sinners; if thou, Lord, should be strict, to mark what we have done amiss; if thou should deal with us, and proceed against us, as in justice thou mightest.

But, O gracious Father, regard not what we have done against thee, but what our blessed Saviour has done for us: nor what we have made ourselves, but what he is made of thee our God unto us. And O that Christ may be to every one of our souls, what he is to all thy faithful people, wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption; that his precious blood may cleanse us from all our sins; and that the grace of thy holy Spirit may further renew

and sanctify our souls, and subdue our iniquities, and mortify our lusts; quicken us to, and enable us for, the performance of all duties of thy holy service. O let not sin reign in our mortal bodies, that we should obey it in the lust thereof. Let there be no sin in us but what is felt and hated, bewailed and resisted by us : and let us approve our very hearts to thee the Searcher of them; and all our ways still pleas-ing in thy holy sight,

O teach us to know thee our God, and ena-ble us to do thy will as we ought to do. Give us hearts to fear thee, and love thee; to trust and delight in thee, and to adhere and cleave in faithfulness unto thee. That no temptations may draw us, nor any tribulations drive us from thee: but that all thy dispensations to us, and all thy dealings with us, may be the messengers of thy love to our souls, to bring us. still nearer to thy blessed self, and to make us still fitter for thy heavenly kingdom. Quicken us O Lord, in our dulness; that we may not serve thee in a lifeless and listless manner; but may abound in thy work, and be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. And make us also faithful in all the offices of intercourse with our neighbours, that we may be ready to do good, and bear evil, and forbear revenge; to be just, kind, merciful, meek, peaceable, patient, sober, temperate, humble, self-denying, inoffensive and. useful in the world. That so glorifying thee here upon earth, we may, at our departure hence, enter into the joy of our Lord, and be for ever glorified in thy heavenly kingdom.

O thou that hast kept us alive to this day, and hast been still good and kind to us all our days, renew thy mercy to us (we beseech thee) together with this morning light: and as thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice, so lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, and make us glad with the tokens of thy love: and thou that art ever present with us, O make ùs ever well aware of thy presence, that we may duly rememberthe in all our ways, wisely and piously demean our selves in all our affairs. Be with us, good Lord, at our going out and our coming in; and let thy grace follow us this day, and all the days of our life. Be thou our guide unto death, in death our comfort, and after death our portion and happiness everlasting. O hear us from heaven thy dwelling place; and, when thou hearest, have mercy forgive the sins of our persons, and the sins of our prayers; and do more for us than we are worthy to expect at thy hands, for his sake, who alone is worthy in whose comprehensive words we sum up all our desires. Our Father, &c.

A seventh Morning Prayer.

LORD God Almighty, thou art the Sovereign Majesty of heaven and earth, against whom all our sins have been committed, by whom alone they can be pardoned, our iniquities subdued, our souls sanctified, and all our wants and necessities supplied. Thou art able, and also ready, to hear and help, to bless and save thy people that look up unto thee, wait,

call and depend upon thee. We have none to repair to for remedy against the evils of our sins, but unto thee, the great God, against whom we have greatly sinned: who delightest to shew mercy to the miserable, and lovest the occasions of glorifying thy compassion, in helping us out of those straits and perplexities into which our sins have cast us, from which all the world else cannot save us. We come, Lord, begging that mercy which thou knowest we extremely want and grace to help in time of our need. We beg the same, for the sake of thy infinitely bebeloved Son, our most worthy prevailing Advocate; whose blood alone is of virtue and value sufficient to fetch out all stains wherewith our sins have defiled our souls.

We are unclean, Lord, we are unclean: O how abominable at the worst, and how imperfect at the very best: but if thou look upon us in the Son of thý eternal love, thou wilt not abhor our guilty souls. Prepare us for the mercies of that Saviour which thou hast prepared for our souls; O make us to feel the burthen and bitterness of our sins; and help us to find them out, to our repentance and reformation, that they may never find us out to our ruin and destruction. Holy Father! carry on with power thy victory over our corruptions and the work of faith and grace, and sanctification in our souls. Quicken us, O Lord our God, and stir us up to thy work; and help and assist us in the performance of all the duties lying upon us which of ourselves thou knowest how unable we are to perform. O thou that workest in us
