DEVOTION.

INcrease in me, O Lord, my Faith Of the Holy Trinity, and of Thy Incarnation, by which means thou art become the Saviour of the whole World; and kindle in my Heart a lasting, longing De∣sire of Thy second Coming; no way Inferior to What the Antient Patriarchs had to See Thy First.

As the chief Point of Their Piety and Devotion consisted in This, Of a Strong Faith and Pas∣sionate (yet Patient) Attendance for the Day of Thy Incarnation and Resurrection; So, (by thy Grace and Favour) Let It be the scope of Mine; still to be, in an Earnest Expectation and Wait∣ing for the Great Day of thy Tri∣umph; when Thou shalt appear so Gloriously to All Men, and to All

Angels. And let me Live (in This Interim,) with the Eye of my Intention, so uncessantly fix'd, Upon Thy Divine Person; as thou thy self Livest, by having Thine perpetually plac'd, on That of Thy Father: And may my Heart ever and anon breath out her Wishes, in these words, Veni, veni Domine & Noli tardare; Even Come, Come Lord Jesu, and tarry no longer!
