Now O Lord, the searcher of the hearts and reins, thou knowing this to be the humble and single desire of our hearts, we fly unto thee for refuge, beseeching thee by thy holy spirit to work in us a clearer sight of the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby our minds may be further cleared from blindness, and we have a clearer sight of the whole ministry of our salvation in him; and grant us God a fuller persuasion of the discharge ⟨image 460⟩of all our sins in his death, and of the imputation of his righteousness unto us, in his resurrection: that the guiltiness of our conscience may daily more and more go away from us, and peace of the same be confirmed in us; especially in the time of our temptation and trouble, the day of our death, and the hou•e of judgement. And next (most merciful Father) grant us a more powerful experience of his death, killing sin in us, and of his resurrection, raising us up unto a new life, that daily we may be less sinful, and more holy, righteous, and sober in this present life: that so also we may have a more sure and steadfast hope in his redemption, and may more strongly resist the vanities of this world, in false pleasures, profits, and glories: and more patiently endure all manner of miseries of the same, which may befall us, until his glorious appearing when he shall come to be glorious in his Saints, and made marvellous in all those which believe in him, Amen.
