A Form of Thanksgiving, and Prayer, for the Restored Penitent.
O Most merciful Father, We thank thee, that thou 1hast brought us under so gracious a Covenant, as not only to pardon the suis of our unregenerate state, but 2also upon our Penitent confession, and return, to cleanse us, from all our unrighteousness, and pardon our falls by 3the blood of Christ, and to restore our souls, and lead us again in the Paths of Righteousness, and command thy Servants to receive us. We thank thee that thou hast thus restored this thy 4Servant, giving him repentance and remission of sin *and returning him to the Communion, of thy Church! 6We beseech thee comfort him, with the believing Apprehensions of thy forgiveness and reconciliation 7through Jesus Christ. Restore unto him the joy 8of thy salvation, and uphold him by thy free spirit, stablish, strengthen, ⟨p. 91⟩settle him, that with full purpose of heart, he may cleave unto 9thee, and now thou hast spoken peace to him, he may not return again to Folly, as he nameth the Name of Christ, let him depart
