And when thou seest me giving Way to any Temptation, suffer me not to be tempted above that I am able, but stretch out thy helping Hand to save and deliver me. Imprint upon my Heart such a Dread of thy Judgments, and such a Love of thy Goodness towards me, as may make me both afraid and ashamed to offend Thee: And above all, keep up in my Mind a lively Remembrance of that great Day, in which I must give a strict Account of my Thoughts, Words, and Actions, and, according to the Works

Works done in the Body, be eternally rewarded or punished by Him whom thou hast appointed Judge of Quick and Dead, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
