For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most High in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

O almighty God, and most merciful Father, who day after day, dost minister to sinful man infinite occasions of praising thee, accept of my unfeigned thanks for all the blessings I have, and every day receive, from thy good providence.

That of thine own mere goodness, and without any merit of mine, or of my forefathers, thou hast given me a being from honest and religious parents, and in such a part of the world where the Christian religion is purely taught, and thy sacraments duly administered:

That thou didst endue me with reason, and perfect senses; and to make these more comfortable to me, didst give me a sound and healthful body :— That thou gavest me an early knowledge of thee, my Creator and Redeemer:-That thou hast preserved me ever since my birth, and hath vouchsafed me health and liberty, and a competency of .means for my support :

That thou hast redeemed me by thy Son, and given me a share in his merits; sanctified me by thy holy Spirit, and hast heaped many favors upon

me:

That thou hast given me honest friends, to admonish, to counsel, to encourage, and to support me by their interest and advice:

That thou hast been my refuge in tribulation,

and my defence in all adversities; delivering me from dangers, infamy, and troubles :-For all known or unobserved deliverances, and for the guard thy holy angels keep over me, I praise thy good providence.

When I went astray thou didst reduce me; when I was sad, thou didst comfort me; when I offended thee, thou didst forbear and gently correct me, and didst long expect my repentance; and when for the grievousness of my sins, I was ready to despair, thou didst keep me from utter ruin. Thou hast delivered me from the snares and assaults of the devil: thou hast not only preserved my soul, but my body from destruction, when sickness and infirmities took hold of me.

O Lord and Father, I cannot render due thanks and praise for all these mercies bestowed upon me: such as I have, I give thee; and humbly beseech thee to accept of this my daily sacrifice of thanksgiving.

Pardon, O God, all my former ingratitude; and that I have passed so many days without observing, without admiring, without acknowledging and confessing thy wonderful goodness to the most unworthy of thy servants. For, when I soberly consider my dependence upon thee, as there is no hour of my life that I do not enjoy thy favors, and taste of thy goodness, so, if my frailty would permit, I would spend no part of my life without remembering thee.

Praise the Lord, then, O my soul, and all that is within me praise his holy name. Glory be to thee, O Lord, my Creator. Glory be to thee, O Jesus, my Redeemer. Glory be to the Holy Ghost, my sanctifier, my guide and comforter. All love, all glory, be to the high and undivided Trinity, whose works are inseparable, and whose dominion endureth world without end.

Evening Prayer.

BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, who hath sent his angels, and kept me this day from the destruction that wasteth at noon, and the arrow that flieth by day; and hath given me his Spirit to restrain me from those evils to which my own weaknesses, and my evil propensities, and my unquiet enemies, would easily betray me. Blessed and for ever hallowed be thy name, for that neverceasing shower of blessings by which I live, and am content, and blessed, and provided for in all necessities, and set forward in my duty and way to heaven. Blessing, honor, glory, and power, be unto him, that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb, for ever and ever.

When I seriously consider, great God, my dependence upon thy providence, and that the favors and mercies I have received, are infinitely more

in number than the acknowledgments I have made, I am justly ashamed of my ingratitude, and afraid lest my unthankfulness should provoke thee to hinder the current of thy blessings from descending upon me.

Forgive, O merciful Father, my past negligencies; and give me grace for the time to come, to observe and to value thy kindnesses as becomes one who has received so much more than he de

serves.

Preserve in my soul, O God, such a constant and clear sense of my obligations to thee, that upon the receipt of every favor, I may immediately turn my eyes to Him from whom cometh my salvation that thy manifold blessings may fix such lasting impressions upon my soul, that I may always praise thee faithfully here on earth, until it shall please thee, of thy unbounded mercy, to call me nearer the place of thy heavenly habitation, to praise my Lord and deliverer to all eternity.

Into thy hands, most blessed Jesus, I commend my soul and body, for thou hast redeemed both with thy most precious blood. So bless and sanctify my sleep unto me, that it may be temperate, holy, and safe; a refreshment to my wearied body, to enable it to serve my soul, that both may serve thee with a never-failing duty. O let me never sleep in sin or death eternal, but give me a watchful and prudent spirit, that I may omit no opportunity of serving thee; that whether I sleep or wake, live

or die, I may be thy servant and thy child: that when the work of my life is done, I may rest in the bosom of my Lord; till, by the voice of the archangel, the trump of God, I shall be awakened and called to sit down and feast in the eternal supper of the Lamb. Grant this, O Lamb of God, for the honor of thy mercies, and the glory of thy

name.

Infinite and eternal God, thou fillest all things with thy presence; thou art every where by thy essence, and by thy power; in heaven by thy glory; in holy places by thy grace and favor; in the hearts of thy servants by thy Spirit; in the consciences of all men by thy testimony and observation of us. Teach me to walk always as in thy presence; to fear thy majesty; to reverence thy wisdom and omniscience, that I may never dare to commit any indecency in the eye of my Lord and my Judge; but that I may with so much care and reverence demean myself, that my Judge may not be my accuser, but my advocate; that I, expressing the belief of thy presence here by careful walking, may feel the effects of it in the participation of eternal glory hereafter.

Thou, O God, hast made all things for man, and man for thy glory, O sanctify my body and soul, my thoughts and intentions, my words and actions, that whatsoever I shall think, or speak, or do, may be by me designed to glorify thy naine, and by thy blessing, it may be effective and suc
