And Securely Serve Thee ; Through, &c
O almighty God, despise not thy people who cry unto thee in their affliction; but for the glory of thy name, turn away thine anger, and help us in our tribu- lations; through, &c. In Time of Famine or Pestilence .
Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, an answer to our hearty supplications; and, thy wrath being appeased, turn away from us this famine (or pestilence) ; that the hearts of men may know that these scourges proceed from thine anger, and cease by thy mercy ; through, &c. For Forgiveness of Sins.
O God, who rejectest none that come unto thee, but in pity art appeased even with the greatest sinners who repent; mercifully regard our prayers in our humilia- tion, and lighten our hearts; that we may be able to fulfil thy commandments ; through, &c. For the Tempted and Afflicted.
O God, who ju8tifiest the ungodly that repent, and wouldst not the death of a sinner ; we humbly entreat thy Majesty to protect thy servants with thy heavenly assistance, who trust in thy mercy, and preserve them by thy continual protection ; that they may constantly serve thee, and by no temptation be separated from thee; through, &c. A Prayer for Perseverance in Goodness.
Grant, O my Lord Jesus Christ, that I may persevere in good purposes, and in thy holy service, to mv death ; ana that I may this day perfectly begin, for all I have hitherto done is nothing. Amen
