We thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that the things that were hid from the wife and prudent are revealed unto us babes, even fo, Father, because it seemed good in thine eyes: that our eyes fee and our ears hear that which many prophets and kings defired to fee, defired to hear, and might not; that life and immortality are brought to light by the gofpel.

O that we may this day experience the power of Chrift's refurrection, and may be planted together in the likeness of it, that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, fo we alfo may walk in newness of life, and may fit with him in heavenly places; and by feeking the things that are above, may make it appear that we are rifen with

Awake, O north wind, and come thou fouth, blow upon our garden, that the fpices thereof may flow forth; and then let our beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Draw us, and we will run after thee; bring us into thy chambers, that there we may be glad and rejoice in thee, and may remember thy love more than wine. And when the King fits at his table, let our fpikenard fend forth the fmell thereof.

And the good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to feck God, the Lord God of his father's, though he be not cleanfed according to the purification of the fanctuary: Hear our prayers, and heal the people.

II. In the celebrating of the Lord's fupper.

O let this cup of bleffing, which we blefs, be the communion of the blood of Chrift; let this bread which we break be the communion of the body of Christ, and enable us herein to fhew the Lord's death - until he come.

Let the crofs of Chrift, which is to the Jew a ftumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness, be to us the wifdom of God, and the power of God.

12. After the celebrating of the Lord's fupper.

And now, Lord, give us to hold faft that whichwe have received, that no man take our crown; and keep it always in the imagination of the thoughts of our hearts, and prepare our hearts unto thee.

Give us grace, as we have received Chrift Jefus the Lord, fo to walk in him, that our converfation may be in every thing as becomes his gofpel.

O that we may now bear about with us continually the dying of the Lord Jefus, fo as that the life alfo of Jefus may be manifefted in our mortal body, that to us to live may be Christ.

Thy vows are upon us, O God, O that we may be daily performing our vows.

14. Upon occafion of a funeral.

Lord give us to find it good for us to go to the houfe of mourning, that we may be minded thereby of the end of all men, and may lay it to our heart, and may be fo wife as to confider our latter end; for we alfo must be gathered to our people, as our neighbours and brethren are gathered; and though whither thofe that are dead in Christ are gone we cannot follow them now, yet grant that we may follow them afterwards, every one in his own order.

We know that thou wilt bring us to death, and to the house appointed for all living; but let us not fee death, till by faith we have seen the Lord Chrift, and then let us depart in peace, according to thy word; and when the earthly houfe of this tabernacle 'fhall be diffolved, let us have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
