Devotions,

teaching them to fight for a heavenly king- dom. Remove, O Lord! thy wrath, which we have reason to apprehend for our sins. De- liver all Christians from the dreadful evil of mortal sin ; make all sinners sensible of their misery ; give them the grace of a sincere con- Torsion and a truly penitential spirit, and discharge them from all their bonds. Pre- serve all Christendom, and in particular this nation, from the evils that threaten impeni- tent sinners, such as plagues, famines, earth- quakes, fires, inundations, mortality of cattle, sudden and unprovided death, with thy many other judgments here, and eternal damnation hereafter. Comfort all that are under any affliction, sickness, or violence of pain ; sup- port all that are under temptation ; reconcile those that are at variance ; deliver all that are in slavery or captivity ; defend all those that are in danger ; grant relief to all in their respective necessities; give a happy passage to those that are in their agony; grant thy blessing, O Lord, to our friends and benefactors, and to all for whom we are particularly bound to pray, and have mercy on all our enemies. Give eternal rest to ail the faithful departed, and bring us to ever- lasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
