A Prayer for Tuesday Evening.

O MOST Great and Glorious Lord God; who art juft and terrible in thy Judgments to all obftinate and rebellious Sinners, but of infinite Pity and Compaf fion to fuch as truly repent and turn unto Thee! Hear, I befeech Thee, the Prayers of thy humble Servant, for the' Pardon and Forgiveness of all my Sins.

O let the infinite Value of the Sufferings of thy Son Jefus Chrift be accepted by Thee, as an Atonement for all my Follies and Tranfgreffions; and for his Sake, I beseech Thee to be reconciled unto me, who acknowledge my Vilenefs, and am unfeignedly forry that I have ever offended Thee, to whom I owe all the Returns of Love, Duty, and Obedience that can poffibly be paid by a Creature to his Creator.

Give me fuch a true and unfeigned Repentance of all my Sins, as may produce in me a thorough Change and Amendment F

of

of Life: open thou mine Eyes, that I may fee and obferve all the evil Difpofitions of my corrupt Nature, and by the Affiftance of thy good Spirit, may be enabled to mortify and fubdue them, and to bring my Mind to an entire Conformity to thy bleffed Will.

Grant that the Remembrance of my past Follies and Mifcarriages may make me more careful of my Actions for the Time to come, and more watchful against thofe Snares and Temptations, which have at any Time betrayed me.

Let the Confideration of thy Patience and Forbearance excite in my Heart such a fincere Love to Thee, and fuch a Fear of offending Thee, that neither Riches nor Honour, nor any Thing elfe that this World can offer, may be ever able to draw me from my Duty.

Convince me, O Lord, that Sin is the greatest of all Evils; that Guilt and Mifery are always infeparable; and that there is no true Happinefs in this Life, but what refults from the Teftimony of a good Confcience, and the Hopes of thy Favour; and grant that thefe momentous Truths may be fo deeply impreft on my Mind, that I may make it the great Study and Care of my whole Life,

to

to be of the Number of thofe, whom Thou lovefl and delightest in.

Give me Grace, O merciful Father, to lay afide every Weight, and the Sin that does so easily befet me, that I may run with Patience the Race which Thou haft fet before me. Deliver me from an immoderate Care and Concern for the Things of this World; and give me fact an entire Acquiefcence in thy divine Will and Pleasure, fuch a perfect Dependance on thine infinite Wisdom and Goodness, that no envious nor difcontented, no murmuring nor repining Thoughts may poflefs my Heart, but a chearful and thankful Spirit may at all Times rule and govern me: And whatever Share of Temporal good Things Thou fhalt be pleafed to give me, O give me Grace to employ it to thy Glory, the Good of others, and the eternal Benefit of my immortal Soul. All which I humbly beg, for the alone Merits and Sake of thy beloved Son Jefus Christ our Lord.

Extend thy Mercy, O God, to all Mankind: In a more particular Manner be gracious to these finful Nations; pardon our great and crying Sins; avert the Judgment which we moft juftly have deserved, and give us Grace to turn from all our Evil

Ways, that Thou may'ft delight to dwell among us, and may'st be our God, and we thy People.

Blefs and preferve our Sovereign Lord King GEORGE; and grant that all who are in Authority under him, may faithfully endeavour to promote thy Glory, and the Good and Welfare of this Church and Nation.

Look with Pity and Compaffion upon all thy afflicted Servants: be a Father to the Fatherlefs, and a Hufband to the Widow; heal the Sick; fupply the Wants of the Poor and Needy; and grant to all that are in Affliction, a patient Submiffion to thy bleffed Will.

Blefs all my Friends and Relations, efpecially Reward all that have done me Good, and forgive all that have done or wifhed me Evil; and vouchfafe to every one of us, from the highest to the lowest, whatever thy great Wisdom knoweft to be needful both for our Souls and Bodies.

And now, O moft merciful Father, in an humble Senfe of thy great Goodness, I adore and praise thy glorious Name for all the Manifestations of thy Love and Kindnefs vouchfafed unto me.

I blefs 1 hee for my Being, for

my Reafon,

fon, and all the Endowments and Faculties of my Soul and Body; for my Health, Friends, Food, and Raiment, and all other Comforts and Conveniences of my Life; for thy continual Care and watchful Providence, over me, through the whole Courfe of my Life; and particularly for thy Prefervation the Day past.

Give me Grace, O Lord, I befeech Thee, to make a right Ufe and Improvement of all thy Bleffings; and be thou graciously pleased to take me, and all that belong to me, this Night, under the Care and Protection of thy Fatherly Providence. Give thy holy Angels Charge over us, that no Evil may come near to hurt us; and grant us fuch Refreshments of Soul and Body, as may enable us chearfully to go through the Duties of that Station wherein Thou haft placed us; and when Thou shalt be pleafed to call us out of this World, O let us be found of the Number of thy faithful Servants, thro' the Merits of Christ Jesus, our bleffed Saviour and Redeemer, for whom my Soul does blefs and praife Thee, and in whose most holy Words I fum up all our Wants, faying,

Our Father, &c.
