O Most gracious GOD, whose eyes have been open over me, when mine were shut, and under the shadow of whose wings I have past this night in safety; I do with all possible thank∣fulness, humbly acknowledge it, as thy great mercy, that thou hast not taken away my soul this night (as in justice thou mightest have done) but hast given me respite, and afforded me one day more to call upon thy Name.
O Lord, make me asha∣med of my former unthank∣fulness, and wound my heart with the consideration of mine own dulness, whom so many favours have not wrought unto more obedi∣ence: Give me grace to con∣secrate the rest of my life unto thy service, and to re∣deem the time at least which I cannot recall.
And, O thou who turnest the shadow of Death, into the light of the Morning, enable me powerfully to cast off all the Works of Dark∣ness, and to keep my body and soul spotless and un∣blameable.
And as thou hast brought me to the Comforts of this
day: So go along with me. I beseech thee, through all the parts and minutes of it, that in all my ways being guided by thy counsel here, I may hereafter be received into thy glory, even for the me∣rits of my dearest Saviour Je∣sus Christ.
