EVENING PRAYER.

I Call with my whole heart: heare me, O Lord, I will keep thy sta∣tutes.

2 Yea, even upon thee do I call: helpe me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

3 Early in the morning do I cry unto thee: for in thy word is my trust.

4 Mine eyes prevent the night watches: that I might be occupied in thy words.

5 Heare my voice (O Lord) according unto thy loving kindnesse: quicken me according as thou art wont.

6 They draw nigh that of malice persecute me: and are farre from thy law.

7 Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord: for all thy commandments are true.

8 As concerning thy testimonies, I have known long since: that thou hast grounded them for ever.

The Prayer.

O Lord God of eternall mercy and truth, give us hearts fixed upon thy divine beauties, and an actuall intention in our prayers, that we may call upon thee with our whole hearts, and do thou heare in Heaven when we call upon thee: deliver us from all them that of malice draw nigh to persecute and afflict us, be thou also night at hand, and nothing can disturbe our safety. Make us to seek to thee early in the morning; let our eyes and our prayers prevent the night watches, that we may be safe in our conversation with thee, and our daily approaches to thy mercy-seat, where thou sittest attended with Cherubims and Seraphims, glorious in thy Selfe, incomprehensi∣ble in thy Attributes, and infinitely rejoycing in thy mercies which thou shewest unto us in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
