A short Prayer.

O GOD, my everlasting keeper, blessed be thy Name for evermore, for thou madest me when I was no∣thing,

Page 192

thou redeemedst me when I was worse than no∣thing; thou hast so multi∣plied thy mercies on me through all the minutes of my life, that the Sun hath never yet rose or set upon me, without new Blessings from thee.

And as thou hast done so much for me already, for which I pour out my very Soul in thankfulness, so in the same degree of lowest humility, I humbly beseech thee to continue thy care of me this night, and so to sha∣dow me under the Wings of thy Protection, that neither visible nor invisible Enemies, neither sin nor danger may approach to hurt me.

Page 193

That so when the joyful Light of the day shall return again, I may rise in safety with an unspotted Soul, and a Body fitted to be the Tem∣ple of the Holy Ghost, even so Lord Jesu,

Amen, Amen.
Is any afflicted, let him pray.
