A Prayer for the Rich and Noble.

O Lord, I beseech thee, make the Great and Hon∣ourable become Good and Just, O suffer them never to consent, nor combine with the Counsel of the Wicked, but teach the Rich and Noble to lear•• to wait for thy Kingdom, cause them to im••ploy their Wealth and Power in Piety, for Religio•• and Charity, for the Poor; let them not loos•• their Courage in thee O King of Kings, for any diffi••culties they meet with in their way, but increase thei•• Faith, and support their Hope, that they may go o•• cheerfully in their Duty, firmly trusting in thee with••out being removed from the Hope of a Blessed acce••••tance and a sure Reward. O make them diligent 〈◊〉〈◊〉

all their indeavours, by removing all lets and hinde∣rances of Piety, cause them Religiously to trust in thy never failling Goodness, which will rather work a Mi∣racle, which thy Power can do: Then forsake or slight thy Servants which thy Goodness cannot, let the firm assurance of this support them in every Centre of their Lives, that they may always dedicate themselves to thy Service, striving to be beneficial to the Poor, that so at ••ength both Poor and Rich may meet together in the Kingdom of Glory, to Praise the Eternal King for ever and ever. Amen.
