Morning Prayer .

O God , I praise thee , for the creation of the World , and for the Redemption of mankind by the Lord Jesus , and for thy many favours bestowed on me : Thou didst safely take me from the womb , and hast ever since cared for me thou hast by thy mercie caused me to b● born within thy Church , where I wa● early given to thee in baptism : thou ha●● afforded me the means of grace , and ca●led me to the hope of glory .

But , O most mercifull Father , 〈◊〉 a poor and miserable sinner , conceive● in sin , and brought forth in iniquity have gone astray from thee : I have 〈◊〉 cared to know thee , and do thy will bu● have done mine own will , and followed my foolish and sinfull inclinations ; and do therefore deserve thy wrath and curse .

O Lord , have mercy upon me : turn me unto thee , and grant me repentance , and forgivenesse of all my sins for Jesus sake : Let it from henceforth become my chiefest care to please thee , and to seek thy kingdom and righteousnesse : worke in me a true faith , a lively hope , and a fervent charitie : make me humble , meek ▪ patient , sober and just , kind and loving to all men , submissive and obedient to them that are over me , and well content and thankfull in every condition of life : grant that I may dayly grow in knowing , ●oving , fearing , and obeying thee : Creat ●n me a clean heart , O God , and renew 〈◊〉 right spirit within me .

I thank thee , O Lord , for thy care of ●e this night ; watch over me this day : keep me mindfull that I am alwayes in thy sight , that I may be in thy fear all the day long ; and grant that through the whole course of my life , I may be holy and harmlesse in all manner of conversation , that when this short and frail life is at an end , I may be made partaker of everlasting life , through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord , in whose name and words I pray . Our Father which art in Heaven , &c.

Evening Prayer .

MOst Gracious God , What sha●● I render unto thee for thy man and great benefits bestowed on me ▪ Though I have been an undutifull an●● disobedient servant to thee , thou has● continued thy care and kindnesse for m● ever since I was born , and hast preserved me this day : let me never forget thy goodnesse , but grant that thereby I may be led to Repentance and amendment of life . Preserve me from every thing that is displeasing to thee : O Lord , keep me from cursing , swearing and lying , from pride , stubbornnesse , and idlenesse ; worke in me an utter dislike of all uncleannesse , of gluttony and drunkennesse , of malice and envy , of strife and contention , of deceit and covetousnesse : give me grace to deny all ungodlinesse and worldly lusts , and to live godly , righteously and soberly in this present world : cause me to understand and consider the laws and life of Jesus , that I may do his will , and follow his steps : let ●ever the cares of this life , nor the love of ●iches , nor evil company , nor the corrupt ●customs of the world withdraw me from ●he obedience of thy laws ; but strengthen , and establish me by thy holy Spirit that I may live and die thy faithfull servant .

O Lord , send thy Gospel through the world : poure out plentifully the Spirit of truth , holinesse and peace on all thy people . Blesse this Church and Kingdom ; preserve the King , the Queen , and all the Royall Familie : guide our Judges and Magistrates : sanctifie and assist the Ministers of the Gospel : Visit all that are in trouble , and sanctifie their afflictions to them : be gracious to all my kindred , friends and neighbours , and blesse and forgive all mine enemies .

Lord , watch over me this night , and ●eep me ever mindfull that I am shortie to die , and come to Judgement , that may without delay turn to thee , and ●asse the time of my sojourning here in fear . Good Lord , hear me , and grant these my desires , and what else thou knowest to be needfull for me , for the ●ake of Jesus , in whose name and words I pray , Our Father , &c.

Grace before Meat .

O Lord , be mercifull to us , and pardon our sins : sanctify these thy good benefits , that we , by the sober and thankful use of them , may b● enabled for thy service , through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour Amen .

Grace after meat .

WE thank and praise thee , 〈◊〉 Lord , the giver of all goo● who hast at this time fed our bodie● stir up in us a greater care for ou●● souls , and grant that our short live● which are so carefully sustained b● thy bounty , may be spent in doin● thy will : lead us safely through thi● vain and sinfull world , in which w● are pilgrims and strangers , and a● length bring us to everlasting res● through Jesus Christ . Amen .
