O God, whose eternal Providence has embark'd our Souls in the Ship of our Bodies, not to expect any Port or Ancho∣rage on the Sea of this World, but steer directly through it to thy glorious King∣dom! Grant us, we beseech Thee, that daily reflecting with what Care and unwearied Diligence, the wretched Adventurers for
all sorts of Vanity pursue, round about us, their desperate Courses, we may heartily feel our selves confounded with just Re∣proach, who knowing our engagement on so important a Voyage, yet take so little Pains to perform it. Preserve us, O Lord, from the Dangers that on all sides assault us, and keep our Affections still fitly dispos'd to receive thy holy Inspira∣tions, that carried sweetly and strongly forward by thy holy Spirit, we may hap∣pily arrive at last in the Haven of eternal Salvation, through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who with Thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, One God, blessed for ever. Amen.
