A short Prayer to be said every Morning.
I.
O Almighty God Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of mercy and comfort, with reverence and fear, with humble confidence and strong de∣sires, I approach to the throne of Grace, begging of thee mercy and protection, pardon and Salvation. O my God, I am a sinner, but sorrowful and repenting: Thou art justly offended at me, but yet thou art my Lord and my Father, mer∣ciful and gracious. Be pleased to blot all my sins out of thy remembrance, and heal my Soul that I may never any more sin against thee. Lord, open my eyes, that I may see my own infirmities, and watch against them; and my own follies, that I may amend them; and be pleased to give me perfect understanding in the way of godliness, that I may walk in it all the days of my pilgrimage. Give me a spirit diligent in the works of my cal∣ling, chearful and zealous in Religion, fervent and frequent in my prayers, cha∣ritable and useful in my Conversation.
