[Our Father which art in the Heaven.] Heavenly Father. Thou art my Maker; Help me to own thee as my Father: Pity me, Relieve me, as one of thy Children. [Hallowed be thy Name.] Let me and all men Glorify thy Name; & let thy CHRIST be Glorious & Precious to me, and to all the World. [Thy Kingdom Come.] Teach me thy Laws; & cause me, & all men, to Love and keep those Lovely Laws. ⟨p. 35⟩[Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.] Give me to Do heartily all that thou Commandest me to Do; Give me to Bear Patiently all that thou orderest me to bear. And let me begin the Work of Heaven while I am on Earth. [Give us this Day our Daily Bread.] Thou knowest what is Best for me; Lord, let me want nothing that shall be good for me. [And Forgive us our Debts, as we Forgive our Debtors.] I have Sinned against thee; O Pardon all my Sin, for the Sake of my Saviour. Do Good to them that have done Evil to me, and do not Leave me so much as to wish Evil to them. [And lead us not into Temptation; but deliver us from Evil.] When I am Tempted to Sin, Oh, Let not the Temptation be too hard for me; and Let not the Devil be my Master. [For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, & the Glory for ever. Amen. O Lord, Every thing is at thy Dispose; Thou canst do every thing. Be merciful to me, and all the Glory of the Mercy shall be thine for ever more. Amen.
