Blessed Lord!
I Have oft this day by intemperance, unrighteousness, and ungodliness, in thought, word, and deed, forsaken thee my God, notwithstanding thy Precept yea thy help of Grace to observ it; and this I have don for inconsiderable things, so that I am now to be forsaken by thee, to be bereft of thy direction, and defence, and to be left, to the disposing of the enemies of my soul and body; yet O Lord, thou hast graciously vouchsafed me power to survey my condition, to examine my sins, whilst yet curable, and to be dealt withal, afore the Devil's accusation hath drawn down thy vengeance; whilst I am permitted to live, and during this time accepted, this day of salvation, Good Lord perfect what thou hast begun, give me an unfeigned sorrow for what is past, and an earnest purpose to amend; O let me recover thy good will, that I may rest in thy favour. Dear Father, I long to renew that friendship, I •ad with thee ere these my sins had broken it, Thou that hast brought me from my sins, to these desires, bring these desires to perfection; re-unite me to Thy self, and then ravish my heart so with thy excellencies, that I may never more lust after the pleasures, profits, honours of this world so, as to lose that amity which thou shalt this night vouchsafe me: Hear Lord, and answer these my petitions, for Jesus Christ's sake, Amen.
