us to great honour, even the honour of being Christians, the honour of adoption to be thy Chil∣dren, and heires of thy glorious promises, coheir•• with thy Sonne Iesus Christ, and hast comforted us on every side, with a continuall streame of thy mercies and refreshments: give us thy grace that we may love thee, and long for thee above all the things of this World: and as thou hast holden us up ever since we were borne, so let thy mer∣cy goe along with us all our daies. Cast us not a∣way in the time of age, and give us grace that we may never cast thee or thy Lawes from us. Let not thy grace, and the ghostly strength we derive from thee, forsake us when our naturall strength failes us, but let our spirit grow upon the disad∣vantages of the flesh, and begin to receive the happinesse of eternity, by an absolute conquest o∣ver the weakned and decaying body; that after we have by thy aide passed through the great troubles and adversities thou shewest unto all thy Children in this world, we may lye downe in righteousnesse and with thy favour: that when thou bringest us out from the deep of the earth againe, we may have a joyfull resurrection to the society of Saints and Angells, and the full fruition of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
