In the Euening, Adde this.

WE thanke thée also, most graci∣ous Father, for that thou hast so mercifully kept and relieued vs this day past: beséeching thée to re∣ceiue vs also this night into thy Fa∣therly protection, and kéep our soules, bodies and goods frée from dangers: let thine Angels encampe about vs, guard vs, and defend vs: giue vnto our bodies that competent rest and sléepe, that may be onely sufficient, and let our thoughts be euer on thée, in loue, feare, and due obedience and re∣uerence, that wée may be fearefull to commit the least euill, yea, in the darke, which with thée is as the noone day. Watch ouer vs, good Father, that Satan preuaile not against vs: and giue vs grace to be alwayes watchfull for the time, when our Lord and Sauiour Jesus Christ shal make his glorious appearance in the clouds, to finish these dayes of sinne. And at

this time, pardon, O Lord, our weake∣nes in prayer, our coldnes in zeale, and whatsoeuer doth hinder vs from the true publishing of our own wants and imperfections at full, & thy praise and glory as thou deseruest: increase our Faith, and grant vs, and all thy Chil∣dren, all other graces necessary for soules and bodies, for Jesus Christs sake: in whose name we further pray, Our Father, &c.
