Prayers for Morning. 409

thee; make me fearful to offend thee,
Thankful for thy Mercies, Humble under
thy corrections, Devout in thy Service, Sor-
rowful for my sins; and grant that in all
things I may behave my self so, as befits a
creature to his Creator, a servant to his
Lord; enable me likewise to perform that
Duty I owe to my self; give me that Meek-
ness, Humility, and Contentedness whereby
I may always possess my Soul in Patience and
Thankfulness; make me diligent in all my
Duties, watchful against all Temptations, per-
fectly Pure and Temperate, and so moderate
in my most Lawful Enjoyments, that they
may never become a snare to me; make me
also, O Lord, to be so affected towards my
Neighbour, that I never transgress that
Royal Law of thine of Loving him as my
self; grant me exactly to perform all parts
of Justice, yielding to all whatsoever by any
kind of Right becomes their due, and
give me such bowels of mercy and compassion,
that I may never fail to do all acts of
Charity to all Men, whether Friends or Enemies,
according to thy command and example.
Finally, I beseech thee, O Lord, to
sanctisie me throughout, that my whole Spirit,
and Soul, and Body may be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ; to whom with thee and the Holy
Ghost be all Honour and Glory for ever.
Amen.
