O possess then all my bo∣dily senses, that my sinful af∣fections may find no place. Leave me no more to my own weakness, whereof my frequent falls have given me many and sad experiments.
Restrain rather those incli∣nations to which my nature is chiefly prone, that their vio∣lence may never have power over me, to make me swerve from thy holy will.
Let not the corruption of these evil times prevail upon me, but keep me from the flattering and the lying lips, the profane and blaspheming tongue; stop my ears, and shut▪ up my heart against them.

Strike such an awful reve∣rence into my soul, that I may watch over all my acti∣ons, and carefully avoid whatever may be dangerous to my self, pernicious to o∣thers, or any way displeasing unto thee; that so living in thy fear, I may die in thy fa∣vour, rest in thy peace, and reign with thee in thy glory World without end.
Amen.
