A PRAYER, For those that are Visited.

OH Lord God, thou best Physician, both of our Souls and Bodies, who canst bring to the Grave, and pull back again, whom thou pleasest; which wert moved at the Prayers of Moses for o∣thers, of Ezekiah for himself; O Lord, hear me for others, others for me, and all of us for thy Son; and look with the Eye of mercy upon me, whom it hath pleased thee, at this time, to visit with the Plague and Sickness: O Lord, I am held in thy fetters; Oh thou which hast bound me, loose me; and, if it tend unto thy glory, and my good, restore my health unto me. O Lord, I have

been an unprofitable Servant all my Life time: Oh then, let me not then be be∣reft of the Life of Nature, when I be∣gin the Life of Grace; but if thou hast disposed of me otherwise, increase my Patience with my Pains; shew thy strength in sustaining my weakness, and be my strong Fortress, in this hour of my Trya; give me grace to apprehend and apply all the merits and mercies of Christ unto my Soul; and, O Lord, let thy Comforter oppose the Tempter, in such a measure, that he may not pre∣vail against me; but as thou makest me like Lazarus, full of Sores, so let also thy Angells carry me into Abrahams bo∣some. O Lord, I intreat, let me ob∣tain, even for his sake, for whom thou hast promised, and bound thy self, to hear and help the afflicted, even thy Son, and my Saviour, Christ Jesus: To whom, with thee, and thy blessed Spirit, be all Praise, &c.
