On another, thus. Quickened at the Lords Table; Especially in Praying, that GOD would Remember His Covenant with our Children, saying before the Lord; Lord, Our Fathers, and our Mothers (as for many of us we may say it) are now in Glory; and thou wilt bring us to be with them; and so thou wilt our Children after us. ⟨p. 48⟩They, and We, and our Children shall together be Employed in thy Praises to all Eternity. In Speaking of This, Tears gushed from me before the Lord. I Trust, Prayer and Faith shall not be in vain. Oh! I have Prevailed, and I have Obtained Mercy for my Children. Amen, Lord JESUS.

On another, thus. Quickenings at the Lords Table, especially in Praying for our Children, that GOD would Remember His Covenant with them: and saying, O Heavenly Father, Did not JESUS CHRIST make His Soul an Offering for the sins of our Children, as well as our sins? Did not He Die, for our Children as well as for us? Therefore let thy CHRIST see His Seed; Let our poor Children be Converted unto Thee, that they may Glorify GOD with us in the World that is to come, and World without End.
