WHAT fitter Language, What bette• Advice, for those who are now hearing the Last Sermon that ever they shall hear in the World! They are bemoaning themselves. Oh, Let them •earn how! May they be heard thus bemoaning themselves! — Yea, but at the same time, Hear this, O all ye People, every one of you; For there is not one of you All, but for ought he knows this may be the Last Sermon *he shall ever hear in the World▪ ⟨p. 2⟩A Short Prayer ▪ this; But a very Great Prayer it is. A few Words: and an Abundance of Important Matter Contained in them. Some very Ignorant Ones are at a loss how to Pray. Especially, Our Little Children are to have their Ignorance relieved, in our Teaching them, how to Pray. There are some Sentences in our Bible, easy to be Remembered, easy to be Repeated If those brief Sentences were well Understood, & well Improved, they would be mighty Prayers, when well uttered before the Lord. There is a Pathetic Prayer, in that Sentence, O Lord, I beseech thee to deliver my Soul! There is a Powerful Prayer, in that Sentence, GOD be Merciful to me a Sinner! There is a Comprehensive Prayer in that Sentence, I am Oppressed, Lord, Undertake for me. Such Ejaculations may prove Arrows in the hands of a mighty Faith; Happy the Soul that has a Quiver full of them. The •hole Bible is of use, especially our Psalter, to ••ll the Quiver. But of all those Arrows, methinks, there can be none more Significant, than that which we are now to take into our Hands. Yea, the poor Dying Offenders, I hope I may say, Penitents, now in the Auditory, have expressed their Desires, That This may be the Text, which they shall now hear treated on; A Text from a Paragraph of the Bible, which since their Condemnation to Die, they have much Lived upon. Oh! That this Prayer may be often heard going up from us, before the •ord! Yea, Tis a Prayer which the smallest of us, and they that are least acquainted with Prayer ▪ least furnished for Prayer, may yet send up unto the Lord. Lord, Turn thou me, and I shall be turned, for thou art the Lord my God.
