The Prayer.
O Glorious God, let my knowledge of thy Nature teach me to deny all iniquity, and to be holy as thou art holy. Let thy goodness make me love thee, and thy Power and Justice make me fear thee, and let both wing my Devotion, and clog and damp my Lusts! Let thy Truth and thy Power beget in me a perfect affi∣ance in thee! Let thy Wisdom and thy Love perswade me to submit quietly to thy Will! that I may walk before an Al∣mighty God, and be perfect, and so may enter into thy joys in the life to come, thorough Jesus Christ our Lord.
