Prayers for the several Graces and parts of Christian Sobriety.

A prayer against sensuality.

O Eternal Father, thou that sittest in Hea∣ven invested with essential Glories and Divine perfections, fill my soul with so deep a sence of the excellencies of spiritual and heavenly things, that my affections being weaned from the pleasures of the world, and the false allurements of sin, I may with great severity and the prudence of a holy disci∣pline and strict desires, with clear resolutions and a free spirit, have my conversation in Heaven and heavenly imployments; that be∣ing in affections as in my condition a Pil∣grim and a stranger here, I may covet after and labour for an abiding city, and at last may enter into and for ever dwell in the Ce∣lestial Jerusalem which is the mother of us all, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
