from me all folly and vanity, as well as vice, and all eager desires after the things of this life; all anger and passion and covetous de­sires, and whatever else is hateful in thy sight. I lament, that in passing through the week, I am so often entangled by the temptations and cares of life. I pray thee now to call my thoughts from all earthly considerations, and to fix them on those unspeakable joys which are at thy right hand for evermore. GOD, strengthen my faith, increase my hope, and fill my heart with love to thee, and fer­vent charity towards my fellow- creatures. Help me also to repent of my sins, examining carefully my conduct during the week, and thus may I learn to amend my life, and to run with patience the race that is set before me. Make me to go to rest this night, thank­ful for the opportunities of instruction which I have enjoyed, and for all the blessings of the Gospel. And may the peace of GoD keep me ever in his fear and knowledge, and in the love of his dear Son, my blessed Saviour. Amen.
