ABSTRACT

A very short, but a very serious, pathetical and pleasant Prayer this. Happy the man that is able to make it, and happy the People among whom there are many that can solemnly make it. It is an Appeal to God respecting the faithful love and religious regards we bear to our Country, and to the Interests of God in it. The man whose Conscience tells him that he bears an honest heart to his Country and the Religion of God in it, he may humbly make the Prayer and take the Comfort of it. Especially let the Ministers of Religion spend themselves gladly in secret Intercessions, in private Studies, in public Labours, yea and in/Sufferings too if called to them; not seeking our own profit of many that they may be saved; enduring all things for the Elects sake that they may obtain Salvation by Jesus Christ.
