O Our Sovereign King, rule and command in us for ever, and so dispose all our unruly Motions, that they may conspire to set up thy Government, striving earnestly to practise all thy wise Precepts, instant∣ly answering thy Will with a quick Obedience, that thou mayst bless my small Endeavours with a great En∣crease, and cause the Relief we need to be conducive to our good, that we may give Glory to him, from whom all good things come, who causes us in the midst of Contradictions to trust in him, that we may still go on and perfect what we have begun, not doubting that our gracious Lord will defend and provide for us, helping us to correct at first those sudden heats of Anger, which would discompose us if they were not subdued, therefore subdue them, that they may not ruine our Souls, nor dishonour thee, nor scandalize our weak Brethren.

Amen.
