Dr. Manton's Prayer at Covent-Garden.
OH Lord God, all that we can do, is-nothing of our selves, we can do nothing, oh let us have the gracious assistance of thy Spirit at this time, let thy love constrain us, say unto us, thou art our salvation. Do not say, that we shall fill up the measure of our iniquities, and there shall be no hope for us. Oh Lord, we are ashamed that we have waited so long in thine Ordinances, and have got no more profit to our poor souls: but we have given up our heart to the pleasures and vanities of this world, that are but for a season: even those that thou hast drawn out after thee, do not walk worthy of thee, answerable to that blessed hope of future happiness, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Jesus Christ is to many of us become a stumbling-block, and a rock of offence, while our hearts are carried out after the world with such strong affections. Oh when shall we carry our selves so, as those that profess themselves to be seekers of a better life? we come into thy presence now for strength, do thou manifest thy self to us, thou hast promised to pour out thy Spirit upon all flesh, oh let it be unto us according to thy promise.
