yet while I am going towards my God Lord let it be thy worke of grace and mercie to make me see and understand when I am out of the right way before I goe too far to fall into irrecoverable danger from which I cannot returne Oh shew me the paths of life and lead mee into the true way to heaven that I may first turne to thee in true faith with a contrite spirit and a broken heart for my lost time past which I have mispent that so I may obtaine pardon for all my sinnes formerly committed before thee and then I know thou wilt receive me as one of thine and in mercie bring me to thy salvation Now Lord although our times are only knowne to thee yet I cannot have long to live for the life of man is but short and old age laden with infirmities and sicknesse is a sure messenger and forerunner of death and then draweth near the first appearance when my breath ceaseth of my poore soule before the tribunall seat of thy great Majesty O God and before all thy holy Angels there to bee called to give an account of all my life and time mispent Alas how can I answer one thing of a thousand now what should I doe if I had not there in heaven an All-sufficient Saviour who is also my blessed advocate to mediate for me in whom is all my trust comfort and confidence therefore gracious Lord Jesus helpe me now while I am here and assist me to make my peace as thou dost advise while I am in the way before the grim and cruell Sergeants of sicknesse and death lay hold upon me to prevent me of the freedome and ability of my senses and spirit being aided with thy power strength and grace by unfaigned repentance and true faith to obtaine through Christ my release and pardon of those grievous debts and trespasses that I stand guilty of before God which I am no waies able to satisfie but only by thee my Saviour Jesus or else I shall be throwne into that dreadfull dungeon from whence there is no escaping Therefore now I doe most humbly beg and pray thee that I may finde such favour in thy sight knowing my owne disabilities that thou Lord wouldest knit and prepare my heart and soule for thine owne mercifull acceptance before thou call and ceise upon me by death to take me out of this life and make me continually mindfull of my last end while I live in health and of that strict reckoning which then I must make unto thee the great God of heaven and earth who seeth and knoweth all things of all my life past even to my very words And let me still remember that thou Lord searchest the hearts and triest the reines and beholdest all our waies and will bring each worke to judgement with every secret thing whether it be good or evill Therefore I most humbly beseech thee while I am in this world give me the grace of daily and unfaigned repentance for all my sinnes past with care to amend all my former faults in the rest of my life and narrowly to examine my own heart soule and conscience of all the evills I have done before thee hating and severely judging and condemning my selfe for them that so I may escape thy great wrath and not be judged and condemned by thee O Lord in thy heavy displeasure which I am not able to beare for who can stand in the sight of thy great Majesty when thou art angry Therefore gracious God let me here obtain thy mercifull pardon for all my offences past with grace to reforme my former misdeeds and by thy blessed assistance become a new creature all my daies that so I may gaine a blessed end through my Saviour to dye in him and make my peace with God here before I goe hence and be no more To which purpose I humbly pray thee while I live to make me a true and faithfull member of thy right Church Kingdom of grace here to professe and practice true Religion and all holinesse of life to my last end but chiefly Lord give me a blessed part in the first resurrection that I may not lye dead in trespasses and sinnes but may by thy holy Spirit be daily raised from the grave of sinne and enabled to live the life of grace that so the second death may have no power to hurt me and at the last when it shall please thee to appoint a stop to my daies and to set a period unto my time grant that my death be neither suddaine nor unexpected neither my paines violent whereby I should be unable faithfully earnestly and constantly to cry unto thee my God and call upon thy holy Name for reliefe and comfort in that great and dreadfull day and time of death and danger when my soules enemies will seek my utter destruction then Lord depart not from me but pray that my faith in thee faile not and strengthen my weaknesse by thy power and supply my soule with all saving graces and defend me from the malice and subtill temptation of my spirituall adversaries that they may never be able to prevaile against me in any thing But I humbly pray thee sweet Saviour to grant that in the day of thy great visitation my poore name through thy unspeakable goodnesse may be then found written in thy blessed booke of life so that my sinnes nor my soules enemies may not be able to blot it out but that by thy infinite mercy and favour sweet Jesus unto me I may then be accounted in thee worthy to escape thy just wrath and by thy power and clemency who didst vouchsafe to be borne of a woman and shalt bee judge of the whole world grant through thy mercies merits and manifold sufferings that I poore sinfull creature may be made able to stand before thee the blessed Son of God and man in that great and dreadfull day of judgement when all our secret wickednesses shall be made manifest and thou Lord to whom all judgement is given by the Father art to give our finall sentence Oh then dear Jesus in whom only I trust receive me into thy gracious favour as one of thine that my sinnes may be covered with thy righteousnesse that so I may be preserved from thy wrath and that wofull doom Go ye cursed into hell fire appointed for the Divell and his Angells but Lord in the fulnesse of thy mercy make me one of that happy chosen number to whom that joyfull call shall belong Come ye blessed of my Father inherit and enter into that Kingdome which he hath prepared for you before the beginning of the world and also thou our Saviour hast purchased for us then Lord in thy infinite love grant me a part in that
