A Prayer for Patron and Benefactors.

O Almighty GOD thou Fountain of all good, of all excell••ncy both to Men and A••gels, ex••end thine abundant favour and loving kindness to my Patron, to all my friends and Benefactors: Reward them, and make them plentiful recompense for all the good which from t••y merciful providence they have conveyed unto me: Let the light of thy countenance shine upon them, and let them never come into any affliction or sad∣ness, but such as may be an instrument of thy 〈◊〉〈◊〉 & their eternal comfort. Forgive them all 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sins; let thy Divined Spirit preserve them from all deeds of Darkness. Let thy ministring Angels guard their persons from the violence of ••hy spirits of Darkness: And thou w••o knowest every degree of their ne∣cessity by thy infinite wisdom, give supply to all t••ei•• needs by ••he glorious mercy, pre∣serving 〈◊〉〈◊〉 persons, sanctifying their hearts, and leading them in the waies of righteous∣ness, by the waters of comfort, to the land of et••r••al ••e••t and glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
