and that every truth I have learnt this day may be so faithfully preserved and kept in mind, as to become the rule of my life, or the ground of my hope, and a powerful motive to universal obedience to the end of my days. O that the remainder of my days may be the better for this day, and the holy rest we observe here on earth may be a beginning of that eternal rest which we wait for at thy second coming. Amen. Come Lord Jesus. Our Father, &c.

MONDAY MORNING.

¶ Use the Prayers for every Morning, and then add, My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord; early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

¶ Repeat the Articles of the Apostles' Creed, after which

say,

Grant me always to hold fast the profession of my faith without wavering! for thou art faithful who hast promised.

To this hope set before me I have fled for refuge; O let me lay hold upon it, and always find it an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast.

An Act of Praise.

I Will always give thanks unto the Lord, his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

For he is the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth; keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin.

God be merciful unto me, and bless me, and show me the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto me.

O God, even my own God, give me thy blessing, and receive my supplications.

Direct my life according to thy word; grant me a holy soul, an undefiled body, pure thoughts, orderly desires; and since, if thou wilt, thou canst make me whole, Lord, renew every part of me, andsay, I will, be thou clean. Amen.

Our Father, &c.

MONDAY EVENING.

¶ Use the Prayers for every Evening, and then add,

An Act of Confession.

I Acknowledge my wickedness, O Lord, and the iniquities of my Father's house; for we have transgressed, and walked contrary to thy commandments.

Set not, Lord, my misdeeds before thee, nor my secret sins in the light of thy countenance: But pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, according to the greatness of thy mercy.

I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? O blot out my transgressions, and remember not my sin.

O Son of David, have mercy on me; Lord Jesus, do thou help me.

Forget me not, O Lord, for ever.

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God, lighten my eyes, that I sleep not in death. Hear me, O Lord, for Jesus my Redeemer's sake. Amen. A Prayer for Grace to keep the Commandments. OF thy goodness, O God, give me grace constantly to serve and please thee, in reverence and godly fear, in worthy apprehensions of thee, and in a rational obedience to thee:

In bodily adoration, and spiritual worship, confined to thee alone:

In an awful regard to oaths, in strict truth, and cautious conversation, in blessings, intercessions, and good wishes:

In diligent attendance at religious assemblies, in devotion and decency, and exemplary zeal, through every part of thy service; in conscientious improvement of the time set apart for religious exercises:

In dutiful demeanour and submission to superiors; in unity and peace, with regard to Church and State; in tender affection to kindred and friends:

In gentleness and meekness, in patience and forgiveness, in general good will, and an engaging conversation :

In chastity and sobriety, in modest behaviour, and unreproachable discourse, and in a moderate use of pleasures, even those that are innocent and lawful:

In frugality and industry, in just and consci

entious dealing, in contentedness, and compassion to the poor.

In truth and integrity, good nature and candour, and a charity that believes, and hopes, and always speaks, the best:

In moderate and virtuous affections, holy and clean imaginations, and perseverance in good works unto the end.

Make me to go in the path of these commandments, for herein is my desire.

Consider my spiritual enemies, how many they are; and the tyrannous hate they bear against

me.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in thee; through Jesus Christ my Saviour. Amen.

¶ An Act of Intercession, as before on Sunday. Our Father, &c.

TUESDAY MORNING.

¶Use the Prayers for every Morning, and then add,

O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee.

The Lord be my keeper: The Lord be my defence upon my right hand: The Lord preserve me from all evil, and set a watch over my soul. The Lord preserve my going out and my coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

O Lord, I entreat thee, of thy unspeakable ten. derness and love, vouchsafe to direct and guide, to govern and dispose of me, and all my concerns, in such a manner as thy wisdom knows will be

most agreeable to thee, and most expedient for

me.

Prayer for Grace.

TURN, I most humbly pray thee, my levity and vain imaginations into seriousness and watchfulness; my sinful gaiety into holy indignation; my hardness to offend into prudent and godly fear: my wanderings and coldness into vehement desire and zeal; my wilful defilements into severity and self-denial, that thus I may be acceptable unto thee, through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

Our Father, &c.

TUESDAY EVENING.

¶ Use the Prayers for every Evening, and then add,

An Act of Confession.

WHO can tell how oft he offendeth? O cleanse thou me from my secret faults.

Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me.

For thy name's sake, O Lord, be merciful to my sin, for it is great.

O Lord, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me. Make haste, O Lord, to help me.

Show me thy marvellous loving kindness;
