A Prayer for the Evening.
O Eternal and ever living Lord God, I the unworthiest of all thy Servants, do prostrate my self before the Face of thy Divine Majesty, imploring thy Pardon and Forgiveness, for the Offences against thee this da Committed, and throughout the course of my whole Life, which hath been extreme Vile and Bse in thy sight; keep me I most humbly beseech thee from the Hours, and Powers of Darkness; Watch over me this Night in thy almighty Providence, and scatter all the Rebellions and Devices of my Adversaries.
