kingdome Thy Will O good and gracious God is that they whom thou hast ordayned to bee Saints in Heauen should bee holy and so serue thee to doe thy will here on earth that they may attaine to thy

forgiue the trespasses of our brethren offending vs as we doe thee It is not thou gracious God that leadest vs into temptations but wee are ledd into them by our owne lustes and infirmities wee fall into them by our owne fraileties wee are inuited by the inticements o● others and by the subtiltie of Satan I● thou good God dost suffer and no● sustaine vs wee no● onely receiue bu● runne headlong

sinnes that wee may shunne the euill of punishment for the same that so wee may not feele the weight of thy power and indignation but may here so be subiect obedient to thy Dominion that wee may hereafter enter into the ioyes of that celestiall kingdome which is thine and which thou hast prepared for such as truely serue thee heere and shall bee blessed Saints in heauen Amen Certaine short
