to gather the Lambs with thy arm, to carry them in thy bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. In much mercy consider our weakness, frailties, and infirmi∣ties, who are thy people, and sheep of thy pasture. O forgive all our past errings and wandrings from thee, for his sake, who laid down his life for his sheep, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, to take away the sins of the world: and for the future, lead us in the paths of righteousness for thy name sake, to endless refreshment, ease and rest. By patient continu∣ance in well-doing and suffering thy will (which is always best) let us seek for and obtain glory and honour, and immortality; eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
