I have so often vow'd to glorify and love thy Name O my God O my Love let thy All-powerfull Love abound in my heart and in the hearts of all that profess thy name that in all these and in all other possible instances of thy Love our Souls may be continually employed to praise and to love thee O my God O my Love who is there that knows thy great thy beloved Name can ever in the least dishonour it

impieties From all these and the like hatefull violations of thy Love and from that vengeance they justly deserve O my God O my Love deliver me and deliver all faithfull People O great Iehovah thou art jealous for thy glorious and beloved Name and without a particular and serious repentance thou wilt not hold him guiltless that taketh it in vain thou wilt pour on him the vials of thy wrath thy wrath eternal and yet thy ever blessed Name is alas alas daily hourly blasphemed O Apostate Infamous World wherein Infinite Goodness is so oft blasphem'd were not thy Name Love O Lord as well as Iehovah thou hadst long agoe aveng'd thy self of the blasphemous World with a vengeance worthy of God Glory be to thee O Long-suffering Love for thy forbearance efficacious of its self to convert the whole World did the World but seriously consider it O Almighty Love thou canst as easily diffuse thy Love over the World as thou didst at first diffuse Light O let thy Fear and thy Love so universally affect the Age that thy great and beloved Name may be universally ador'd and lov'd The Fourth Commandment Glory be to thee O my God O my Love who in compassion to humane weakness which is not capable of an uninterrupted contemplation of thee such as the Saints have above hast appointed a solemn day on purpose for thy remembrance Glory be to thee O my God my Love for proportioning a seventh part of our time to thy self and liberally indulging the remainder to our own use O my God O my Love let me ever esteem it my privilege and my happiness to have a day of rest set apart for thy service and the concerns of my own Soul to have a day free from distractions disengaged from the World wherein I have nothing to doe but to praise and to love thee Lord grant that I may not onely on thy day give thee due worship my self but may give rest and leisure also to my Family to all under my charge to serve thee also to indulge ease to my very Beasts since good men are mercifull even to them Glory be to thee O blessed Spirit who on the first day of the week didst descend in miraculous gifts and graces on the Apostles O descend upon me that I may be always in the spirit on the Lord's day O my God O my Love give me grace on thy day to worship thee in my Closet and in the Congregation to spend it in doing good in works of necessity devotion and charity in prayer and praise and meditation O let it ever be to me a day sacred to Divine Love a day of heavenly rest and refreshment Thou O my God O my Love didst ordain the Jewdaical Sabbath as a shadow of the true gospel-Gospel-sabbath O may I every day keep an Evangelical Sabbath and rest from my sins which are my own works while I live here and may I celebrate an eternal Sabbath with thee in Heaven hereafter O my God O my Love for the like purposes of Piety and of thy Glory give me grace to sanctify the Feasts
