And do not only justify us but sanctify us, purge our consciences from dead works, inform our understandings, conform our wills to thine holy will, let our hearts and lives be conformed to the Image of thy Son, that beholding thereof, we may be changed from glory to glory, and let us have more knowledge of thy will, that we may do thy will, and suffer thy will with more patience, and be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are to the glory of God. Let us not be empty Vines that bring forth fruit to themselves, but let us bring forth fruit to God whereby thou mayest be glorified, Oh plant that great grace of self-denial in our souls, and let us take the Cross of Jesus Christ and follow him wheresoever he goes.

Remember all thine, extend thy favour to those thou hast cast on Beds of sickness, and let there be a saving change wrought in them before that change by death shall come. And that are drawing nigh their time of Travel, let the arms of the All-sufficient God be under them, and be better to them th•s their Faith or our Prayer. And look graciously upon poor Children, entitle them to an inheritance that fadeth not away, make them a blessing in themselves, and a blessing to their Parents. And those that desire the conversion of Relations that walk in ways of per•ition, do not let them find peace in any way against thy Majesty, and let them know that sin will be bitter in the latter end.
