That Promise of the Covenant, for all Things to Work together for Good is now laid hold upon; and it is asked, That as our Sorrows may make us Wiser and Better, so our Comforts may quicken us to Glorify our GOD, in a Life of Obedience unto Him.
It is more particularly asked, on the behalf of the Persons who are now entering into the Covenant of the Married State, That they may now first give themselves unto the Lord, and have the Pardon of all their Sins through the Blood of the Great Sacrifice, and that so the Blessing of GOD may be upon them in their now giving themselves to each other, according to His Institution.
