Ad Sect. 3. A prayer meditating and re∣ferring to the divine presence. This prayer is especi∣ally to be used in tem∣ptation to private sins.

O Almighty God infinite and eternal, thou fillest all things with thy presence; thou art every where by thy essence and by thy pow∣er, in heaven by Glory, in holy places by thy grace and favour, in the hearts of thy servants by thy Spirit, in the consciences of all men by thy testimony and observation of us: Teach me to walk alwayes as in thy presence, to fear thy Majesty, to reverence thy wisdom and om∣niscience, that I may never dare to commit any undecency in the eye of my Lord and my Judge, but that I may with so much care and reverence demean my self, that my Judge may not be my accuser, but my Advocate: that I expressing the belief of thy presence here by careful walking, may feel the effects of it in the participation of eternal glory thorough Jesus Christ. Amen.
