Help, O all-searching light, and let thy discerning eye discover the rotten foundation of the self-deceiver; and lead me, O Lord God, as thou didst thy Prophet, into the Chambers of Imagery, and dig brough the wall of Sinners ⟨p. 72⟩hearts, and discover the hidden abominations that are l•king out of […] the dark. O• send thine Angel before me, to […] sundry Wards of their hearts, as thou didst before Peter, ••d make ever the Iron G••es to fly open of their own accord. And as Jonathan no sooner tasted the Honey, but his eyes were ••lightned; so grant O Lord, that when the poor deceived •••ls with whom I have to do, shall cast their eyes upon the•e lin•s, their minds may be illuminated, and their consciences convinced and awakened, that they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and be converted, and thou •ayst heal them.
