Lead us not into Temptation;

Gracious Father, we are weak and ignorant, our affections betray us, and make us willing to die; our adversary the Devil goeth up and down, seeking whom he may devour, he is busie and crafty, malicious and powerful, watch∣ful and envious; and we tempt our selves, running out to mischief, delight∣ing in the approaches of sin, and love to have necessities put upon us, that sin may be unavoidable. Pity us in the midst of these disorders, and give us spiritual strength, holy Resolutions, a watchful Spirit, the whole Armour of God, and thy protection, the guard of Angels, and the conduct of thy holy Spirit, to be our security in the day of danger. Give us thy grace to fly from all occasions to sin, that

we may never tempt our selves, nor de∣light to be tempted; and let thy bles∣sed Province so order the accidents of our lives, that we may not dwell near an enemy; and when thou shalt try us, and suffer us to enter into combat, let us al∣ways be on thy side, and fight valiantly, resist the Devil, and endure patiently, and persevere constantly unto the end, that thou mayest crown thy own work in us.
