into the world to redeem us from an intole∣rable misery, and to teach us a holy religion, and to forgive us an infinite debt: give me thy holy Spirit, that my understanding and all my faculties may be so resigned to the discipline and doctrine of my Lord, that I may be prepared in mind and will to dye for the testimony of Jesus, and to suffer any af∣fliction or calamity that shall offer to hinder my duty, or tempt me to shame or sin, or a∣postasie: and let my faith be the parent of a good life, a strong shield to repell the fiery darts of the Devil, and the Author of a holy hope, of modest desires, of confidence in God, and of a never failing charity to thee my God, and to all the world, that I may never have my portion with the unbelievers, or uncharitable, and desperate persons; but may be supported by the strengths of faith in all temptations, and may be refreshed with the comforts of a holy hope in all my sor∣rows, and may bear the burden of the Lord, and the infirmities of my neighbour by the support of charity, that the yoak of Jesus may become easie to me, and my love may do all the miracles of grace, till from grace it swell to glory, from earth to heaven, from duty to reward, from the imperfections of a begin∣ning and little growing love, it may arrive to the consummation of an enternall & never ceasing charity, through Jesus Christ the Son of thy love, the Anchor of our hope, and the Author and finisher of our faith, to whom with thee, O Lord God, Father of Heaven and Earth, and with thy holy Spirit be all glory, and love, and obedience, and domini∣on now and for ever. Amen.
