Now in My Behalf, Mid Supply the Defects of

O Lord, this repent- ance, must be thy free gift ; and if it come not from the hand of thy mercy, all my en- deavours will be in vain, and 1 shall be for ever miserable. Have mercy, therefore, on me, O Father of mercies, whereby I may sincerely repent of all my sins. Give me a true contrition, that 1 may bewail ray past miseries and ingratitude, and grieve from the bottom of my heart for having offended so good a God. Permit me not to bo deluded with a false sorrow, as, I fear, I have been too often, through my own weakness and neglect ; but let it be now thy gift, descend- ing from thee, the Father of light ; that so my repentance may be accompanied with amendment and a change of life, and I may be fully acquitted from the guilt of all my sins, and once more received into the number of thy servants ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
