On the Winnowing.
Lord; When such a Wind shall be raised as will discover, & will distinguish, the sincere Professors of Religion from them that are not so, let me be found Good Grain for the House of my GOD.
On the Chaff.
Lord; Let me not be one of the Ungodly, who are before thy Wrath like the Chaff chased by the Wind. Oh! Let me not have my Portion with the Chaff, which GOD will burn up with Unquenchable Fire.
On the View of the Barn replenished.
Lord; Let me not be the Fool, whose Full Barn bewitches him, to flatter a Soul, with a Fancy of Good Things laid up for it in this World! when his unhappy and unfurnished Soul is immediately stripped of all; and unexpectedly dragged into eternal Misery.
