thy counsel to be sanctified by thy spirit, and afterwards that my body and soul may be re∣ceived into glory: for nothing can perish which is under thy custody; and the enemy of souls cannot devour what is thy portion, nor take it out of thy hands. This day, O Lord, and all the dayes of my life I dedicate to thy honour; and the actions of my calling to the uses of grace, and the religion of all my dayes to be united to the merits and intercession of my holy Saviour Jesus, that in him and for him I may be par∣doned and accepted. Amen.
