Our FATHER, &c.

O most Mighty GOD and Merciful Father, who dost correct those whom Thou dost love, and in very faithfulness dost afflict the children of men; I pray Thee to give me grace patiently to bear the sufferings which Thou hast seen fit to lay upon me, and to submit myself wholly to Thy will.

O LORD, in the midst of judgment Thou hast remembered Mercy. I thank Thee that while thousands fall around me, Thou hast yet spared my life, and given me hopes of recovery, and longer service to Thy glory upon earth. Help me to spend the remainder of my days in Thy faith and fear; that, this life ended, I may dwell with Thee in life everlasting; through JESUS CHRIST our Lord. Amen.

O Almighty GOD, whose most

dearly beloved SON for the forgiveness of our sins did shed out of His most Precious Side both Water and Blood; grant me without all doubt to believe in Thy SON JESUS CHRIST, and to look unto Him for pardon and peace; that I may be cleansed from all my sins, and serve Thee with a quiet mind; through the same Thy Blessed SON. Amen.

O Saviour of the world, who by Thy Cross and Precious Blood hast redeemed us, save me and help me, I humbly beseech Thee, O LORD.
