The Prayer.
O God, the eternal Source and Neces∣sity of Being, on whose free over∣flowing that of the whole Creation every Moment depends! strike, we beseech thee, our Hearts with a continual Diead and Reverence of thy absolute Domini∣on, which should it but never so little suspend thy Bounty, we should instantly vanish into nothing; and grant that as we know thou preservest this World to grow daily riper for the other, to which thou hast ordain'd it, we may by thy Grace so husband our Time here, as in the next Life to possess thy Eternity, through our Lord Jesus Christ, who li∣veth, &c.
