keeping
always
an
upright
conscience
,
a
modest
behaviour
,
an
edifiing
conversation
,
and
a
regular
conduct
.
That
I
may
incessantly
apply
my self
to
overcome
nature
,
to
second
grace
,
to
observe
the
Law
,
and
to
merit
Salvation
.
Discover
to
me
,
O
Lord
,
the
meanness
of
the
world
,
and
the
greatness
of
Heaven
,
the
shortness
of
Time
,
and
the
length
of
Eternity
.
Make
me
prepare
for
Death
,
fear
your
Judgment
,
avoid
Hell
,
and
