WE acknowledge thy goodness, O Lord, in making this [plen∣tiful] provision for us. Pardon our ingratitude for thy former mercies. And bless us with such a discreet and thankful use of these thy good crea∣tures, that they may not hinder us in our duty, but better dispose us to do thee all faithful service in our several places; through our Lord and Savi∣our Jesus Christ. Amen.
WE look up unto thee, O Lord, who givest us life and breath, and all things; beseeching thee to forgive us all our sins, and to make us such thankful partakers of these thy good creatures, that by a moderate use of them our bodies may be refreshed, and made more fit to accompany our souls in hearty endeavours to do thee all faithful service, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
WE renew our thankful acknow∣ledgements unto thee, O Lord, for making again this merci∣ful provision for us, who are unworthy of the least of thy favours. Add thy gracious pardon likewise; and bless the sober use of these thy creatures, to the strengthning of our frail bodies. And endue our souls with the grace of
thy holy Spirit, that we may return back unto thee the strength we receive from them in well doing, and it may be as delightful as our meat and drink to do the will of thee our heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, &c. A∣men.
WE return unto thee, O Lord, our hearty thanks for these and all other the like mercies bestowed up∣on us, ever since we had a being; e∣specially for the promises thou hast gi∣ven us of eternal life, by thy Son Christ. Enable us, we beseech thee, to continue so patiently in all good works, that at last we may attain it. And bless thine Ʋniversal Church, these Realms, the King, the Queen, and all the Roy∣al Family; and grant us thy grace, mercy, and peace, through Christ Je∣sus. Amen.
BLessed be thy name, O Lord, for our continued health, and food, and raiment, and friends, and all other good things, whereby thou main∣tainest the comfort of this present life. Above all we thank thee, for thy love in Christ Jesus, and the hope thou hast given us by him, of better things in a∣nother world: Ʋnto which we be∣seech thee to bring us by hearty obedi∣ence to thee all our days. Save thine Ʋniversal Church, &c.
WE thank thee, O Lord, that we are alive, and that we live in health, and peace, and the enjoyments of all good things that are needful for the support of this present life, and for the attainment of a better. Continue them, we pray thee, unto us: and continue in us such a thankful sense of thy love, that we may live unto thee, by whom we live. Save thy Ʋniversal Church, &c.
