LOrd, let my Understanding adhere to and be satisfied in the excellent 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of thy Com∣mandments; let my Affections dwell in their desires, and all my other Faculties be set on daily work for performance of them: and let my love to obey thee make me dutiful to my Superiors, upon whom the impresses of thy Authority are set by thine own hand; that I may never despise their Persons, nor refuse their Injunctions, nor chuse mine own work, nor mur∣mur at their burthens, nor dispute the prudence of the Sanction, nor excuse my self, nor pre∣tend 〈◊〉〈◊〉 or impossibilities; but that I may be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in my desires, and resigned to the will of those whom thou hast set over me; that since all thy Creatures obey thy word, I alone may not disorder the Creation, and cancel those bands and intermedial links of Subordi∣nation whereby my duty should pass to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and thy glory, but that my Obedience being united to thy Obedience, I may also have my portion in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of thy Kingdom, O Lord and Blessed Saviour Jesus.
