thy_o universal_a church_n with_o truth_n with_o peace_n and_o thy_o holy_a discipline_n strengthen_v all_o they_o which_o suffer_v for_o thy_o cause_n and_o let_v they_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o comfort_n come_v towards_o they_o as_o thy_o angel_n come_v to_o thy_o son_n when_o he_o be_v hungry_a be_v merciful_a unto_o all_o those_o which_o lie_v in_o anguish_n of_o conscience_n for_o remorse_n of_o their_o sin_n as_o thou_o have_v make_v they_o example_n so_o teach_v we_o to_o take_v example_n by_o they_o that_o we_o may_v look_v upon_o thy_o gospel_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o despair_n and_o upon_o thy_o law_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o presumption_n prosper_v the_o army_n which_o fight_v thy_o battle_n &_o show_v a_o difference_n between_o thy_o servant_n &_o thy_o enemy_n as_o thou_o do_v between_o the_o isralite_n and_o the_o egyptian_n that_o they_o which_o serve_v thou_o not_o may_v come_v to_o thy_o service_n see_v that_o no_o god_n do_v bless_v beside_o thou_o make_v we_o thankful_a for_o our_o peace_n who_o thou_o have_v set_v at_o liberty_n while_o thou_o have_v lay_v our_o danger_n upon_o other_o which_o may_v have_v lay_v their_o danger_n upon_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o to_o build_v thy_o church_n in_o our_o rest_n as_o solomon_n build_v thy_o temple_n in_o his_o peace_n have_v mercy_n upon_o this_o sinful_a land_n which_o be_v sick_a of_o long_a prosperity_n let_v not_o thy_o blessing_n rise_v uppe_o against_o we_o but_o endue_v we_o with_o grace_n as_o thou_o have_v with_o riches_n that_o we_o may_v go_v before_o other_o nation_n in_o religion_n as_o we_o go_v before_o they_o in_o plenty_n give_v we_o such_o heart_n as_o thy_o servant_n shall_v have_v that_o thy_o will_n may_v be_v our_o will_n that_o thy_o law_n may_v be_v our_o law_n and_o that_o we_o may_v seek_v our_o kingdom_n in_o thy_o kingdom_n give_v unto_o our_o prince_n a_o princely_a hart_n unto_o our_o counsellor_n the_o spirit_n of_o counsel_n unto_o our_o judge_n the_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n unto_o our_o minister_n the_o spirit_n of_o doctrine_n unto_o our_o people_n the_o spirit_n of_o obedience_n that_o we_o may_v all_o retain_v that_o communion_n here_o that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n hereafter_o bless_v this_o family_n with_o thy_o grace_n and_o peace_n that_o the_o ruler_n thereof_o may_v govern_v according_a to_o thy_o word_n that_o the_o servant_n may_v obey_v like_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v all_o so_o love_v one_o another_o that_o we_o may_v all_o be_v love_v of_o thou_o now_o lord_n we_o have_v commence_v our_o suit_n our_o understanding_n be_v weak_a and_o our_o memory_n short_a and_o we_o unworthy_a to_o pray_v unto_o thou_o more_o unwoorthy_a to_o receive_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o therefore_o we_o commend_v our_o prayer_n and_o ourselves_o unto_o thy_o mercy_n in_o the_o name_n of_o thy_o belove_a son_n our_o love_a saviour_n who_o righteousness_n plead_v for_o our_o unrighteousness_n our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n a_o prayer_n for_o the_o evening_n o_o lord_n god_n what_o shall_v we_o render_v unto_o thou_o for_o all_o thy_o benefit_n which_o have_v give_v thy_o son_n for_o a_o ransom_n thy_o holy_a spirit_n for_o a_o pledge_n thy_o word_n for_o a_o guide_n and_o reserve_v a_o kingdom_n for_o our_o perpetual_a inheritance_n of_o who_o goodness_n we_o be_v create_v of_o who_o justice_n we_o be_v correct_v of_o who_o mercy_n we_o be_v save_v our_o sin_n stryve_v with_o thy_o benefit_n which_o be_v more_o let_v we_o count_v all_o creature_n &_o there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o of_o any_o kind_n as_o thy_o gift_n except_o our_o offence_n which_o we_o return_v unto_o thou_o for_o they_o thou_o may_v have_v say_v before_o we_o be_v form_v let_v they_o be_v monster_n or_o let_v they_o be_v infidel_n or_o let_v they_o be_v beggar_n or_o cripple_n or_o bondslave_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v but_o thou_o have_v make_v we_o to_o the_o best_a likeness_n and_o nurse_v we_o in_o the_o best_a religion_n and_o place_v we_o in_o the_o best_a land_n that_o thousand_o will_v think_v themselves_o happy_a if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o our_o happiness_n therefore_o why_o shall_v any_o serve_v thou_o more_o than_o we_o which_o want_v nothing_o but_o thankfulness_n thou_o have_v give_v we_o so_o many_o thing_n that_o scarf_n we_o have_v any_o thing_n leave_v to_o pray_v for_o but_o that_o thou_o will_v continue_v those_o benefit_n which_o thou_o have_v bestow_v already_o yet_o we_o covet_v as_o though_o we_o have_v nothing_o and_o live_v as_o though_o we_o know_v nothing_o when_o we_o be_v child_n we_o defer_v till_o we_o be_v man_n now_o we_o be_v man_n we_o defer_v until_o we_o be_v old_a man_n and_o when_o we_o be_v old_a man_n we_o will_v defer_v until_o death_n thus_o we_o steal_v thy_o gift_n and_o do_v nothing_o for_o they_o yet_o we_o look_v for_o as_o much_o at_o thy_o hand_n as_o they_o which_o serve_v thou_o all_o their_o life_n the_o least_o of_o thy_o blessing_n be_v great_a than_o all_o the_o courtesy_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o so_o thankful_a to_o thou_o for_o all_o that_o we_o have_v as_o we_o be_v to_o a_o friend_n before_o one_o good_a turn_n we_o be_v ashamed_a of_o many_o sin_n in_o other_o and_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o commit_v the_o same_o sin_n ourselves_o &_o worse_o than_o they_o yea_o we_o have_v sin_v so_o long_o almost_o that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n and_o make_v other_o sin_n too_o which_o will_v not_o sin_v but_o for_o us._n if_o we_o do_v any_o evil_n we_o do_v it_o cheerful_o and_o quick_o and_o easy_o but_o if_o we_o do_v any_o good_a we_o do_v it_o faint_o and_o rude_o and_o slack_o when_o do_v we_o talk_v without_o vanity_n when_o do_v we_o give_v without_o hypocrisy_n when_o do_v we_o bargain_n without_o deceit_n when_o do_v we_o reproove_v without_o envy_n when_o do_v we_o hear_v without_o weariness_n when_o do_v we_o pray_v without_o tediousness_n such_o be_v our_o corruption_n as_o though_o we_o be_v make_v to_o sin_n in_o deed_n or_o in_o word_n or_o in_o thought_n we_o have_v break_v all_o thy_o commandment_n that_o we_o may_v fee_v what_o good_a be_v in_o evil_a which_o have_v leave_v nothing_o but_o guilt_n and_o shame_n and_o expectation_n of_o judgement_n while_o we_o may_v have_v have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n of_o hart_n and_o all_o the_o grace_n which_o come_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n some_o have_v be_v win_v by_o thy_o word_n but_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o change_v we_o some_o have_v be_v reform_v by_o thy_o cross_n but_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o purge_v we_o some_o have_v be_v move_v by_o thy_o benefit_n but_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o persuade_v we_o nay_o we_o have_v give_v consent_n unto_o the_o devil_n that_o we_o will_v abuse_v all_o thy_o gift_n so_o fast_o as_o they_o come_v &_o therefore_o thy_o blessing_n make_v we_o proud_a thy_o riches_n covetous_a thy_o peace_n wanton_a thy_o meat_n intemperate_a thy_o mercy_n secure_a and_o all_o thy_o benefit_n be_v weapon_n to_o rebel_v against_o thou_o that_o if_o thou_o look_v into_o our_o heart_n thou_o may_v say_v our_o religion_n be_v hypocrisy_n our_o zeal_n envy_n but_o wisdom_n policy_n our_o peace_n security_n our_o life_n rebellion_n our_o devotion_n end_n with_o our_o prayer_n and_o we_o live_v as_o though_o we_o have_v no_o soul_n to_o save_v what_o shall_v we_o answer_v for_o that_o which_o our_o conscience_n condemn_v we_o be_v one_o day_n near_o to_o death_n since_o we_o rise_v when_o we_o shall_v give_v account_n how_o every_o day_n have_v be_v spend_v and_o how_o we_o have_v get_v these_o thing_n which_o other_o will_v consume_v when_o we_o be_v go_v and_o if_o thou_o shall_v ask_v we_o now_o what_o lust_n assuage_v what_o affection_n qualify_v what_o passion_n expel_v what_o sin_n repent_v what_o good_a perform_v since_o we_o begin_v to_o receive_v thy_o benefit_n this_o day_n we_o must_v confess_v against_o ourselves_o that_o all_o our_o work_n word_n &_o thought_n have_v be_v the_o service_n of_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n we_o have_v offend_v thou_o and_o contemn_v thou_o all_o the_o day_n and_o at_o night_n we_o pray_v unto_o thou_o father_n forgive_v we_o all_o our_o sin_n which_o have_v dishonour_v thou_o while_o thou_o do_v serve_v we_o run_v from_o thou_o while_o thou_o do_v call_v we_o &_o forget_v thou_o whilst_o thou_o do_v feed_v we_o so_o thou_o spare_v we_o so_o we_o sleep_v and_o to_o morrow_n we_o sin_v again_o this_o be_v the_o course_n of_o all_o our_o pilgrimage_n to_o leave_v that_o
