Thy Creatures for Ever. Amen

And since thou hast ordained the day to labour, and the night to take our rest, as I praise thee for the bless- ings of the day, so I implore thy protection during this night. Let the eyes of thy providence watch over me, and thy holy angels pitch their tents about me; that being safely delivered. from all dangers, and com- fortably refreshed with moderate sleep, I may the better be enabled to perform the employments of my calling and state of life, and faithfully persevere in the discharge of the duties of thy service ; and so daily advance to new victories over my passions, and to a more perfect observance of thy commandments : till, having passed my day 8 in thy fear, I may end them in thy favour, and rejoice with thee for ever in thy heavenly kingdom, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and only Saviour; who with Uiee and the IToly Ghost liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen
