A Prayer for Tuesday Morning.

O Eternal Lord God, thou com∣mandest us alwayes, at all times, and in all things, to call upon thee; day by day, I come unto thee, beg∣ing refreshment from the overflow∣ing streams of thy mercy; O Lord open unto me the gate of thy favour, and let me be satisfied with the foun∣tain of thy loving kindness. O mer∣ciful Lord, who hast said, As surely as I live, I desire not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should Convert and A∣mend, and Live; Who hast also said, Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee; have mercy upon me for Jesus Christ his sake, whom thou wouldest should be a peace∣maker, to the end that thou mightest shew thine exceeding great Wrath a∣gainst sin, and thine inestimable mer∣cy towards Mankind, sanctifie and il∣luminate my heart with thy holy Spirit. O God the guide of my life, forsake me not, turn from me the

filthiness of desire. Turne mine Eyes away from beholding vanity, strengthen me in thy wayes, and grant that mine offences in this world overcome me not, and I be∣seech thee, O Lord, with a most ar∣dent affection, that this day and ever thou wilt keep me, and all mine, and that thou wilt be unto me a Mighty Protector, a firmament of strength, a covering against heat, a shadow at noon-tide, a defence from falling, an assister from offending, a comforter of my soul, an enlightner of my mind, a giver of health and happiness in Christ Jesus, my Lord and Saviour; To whom be all glory, honour, and power, for ever. Amen.

Our Father. &c.
