Com. Pr. Collect. on Innocents day.

Mortifie and Kill all Vices in us, and so strengthen us by thy Grace, that by the Innocency of our Lives, &c. we may glorifie thy holy Name.

Quaker.

Oh that we might see this Innocents day, every day, in your lives and Conversations! And where would there be Vice then, when all is mortified, and that in you? And where would be Wrong then, and Oppression then, when all become Innocent? Then there would be no more hurting or spoiling one of another, in our Streets, when all become as little Children, as all must that will enter the Kingdom of God; What Violence will there be then? But to keep a Day in remembrance of the Innocents, and just to be as little Children, Harmless and Innocent; but to Persecute them that are such, is very unsutable: For the Lord would have us all to walk according to his Royal Law, written in our Hearts, To do to others as we would be done unto: Oh this is an even Path and a good Way to walk in! And why should men choose another Way, to their own hurt and ruin? And consi∣der Herods cruelty against the Innocent, and beware least you be found like-minded, to persecute the Innocent for the Lords Sake.
