world and a sure trust in thee; with a grateful sense of thy kindness and a soul full of love; with a knowledge of thy will and a care to perform it; with the assistance of thy Spirit, and Life everlasting, through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

Wednesday.

O LORD God Almighty, who to redeem lost mankind didst deliver up thine only Son to be betrayed and sold by one of his own disciples and familiar friends into the hands of his most malicious enemies grant us, by the help of thy Spirit, always to detest and abhor our own sins, which were no less the occasion of his death than the traitor Judas: and mercifully grant, also, that we may never fall from thee, or be led to act treacherously one to another, through

1

covetousness or any other temptation; but that we may stedfastly persevere unto the end and under all trials, in the fellowship of thy Word and Spirit, and in communion of all Saints, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thursday.

BLESSED Lord, who hast given us a new commandment that we should love one another, and hast taught us that where envy and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work: give unto us thy servants grace, that we may be kindly affectioned one to another, and that there may be no schism in this household. Put away from us all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and evilspeaking, with all malice, and grant that, in honour preferring one another, we

may walk in love, even as thou, Lord, loved us, and gave thyself to die for our sins.

Amen.

Friday.

O ETERNAL Father, who didst send thine only begotten Son into the world to die for our sins, who by his precious bloodshedding hath purchased to himself a peculiar people zealous of good works: we beseech thee absolutely to dispose of what thou hast so dearly paid for; mortify us to the world, and confirm our courage to fight manfully under the Banner of our crucified Saviour, that we may be able to stand the shock of all temptations, and that nothing, either in life or death, may separate us from thy love in him our glorious Redeemer, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth one God blessed for ever. Amen.

Saturday.

O GOD, by whom the whole world is governed and preserved, we give thee humble thanks for thy fatherly care over us during the week now drawing to a close; beseeching thee to make us truly sensible of thy mercies and thankful for them, and to give us grace that we may always walk as in thy sight, making a conscience of our ways, and fearing to offend thee, may never fall into the sins we have repented of, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
