ANd now O Lord,

How infinite indeed is every Sin!

How infinite thy Love!

How high the Glory and Blessedness of Heaven!

How dreadful the Fall of every Sinner!

How bottomless and infinite,

The Abyss of Misery ;

How endless and unsearchable,

The Sphere of Mercy!

O my God, since thou hast made me to be thy Friend,

Having made me thy Son in capacity,

That I might make my self so in Act ;

By rightly using the power which thou givest me,

Without which it is impossible but that thou shouldest be displeased with thy Work ;

Since the only Duty thou enjoynest me,

Is to live in thy Image ;

And to be like thee,

To all thy Creatures,

To delight in thy Goodness,

And to enjoy thee in all thy Works :

Since thou leavest me to my self, only for my Happiness and perfect Glory,

And art willing to save me,

In the best of all possible manners :

And nothing less than the best,

Can agree with thy Nature :

I acknowledge that if I fail in so fair a Covenant, and refuse to please thee in such a Duty :

The natural result of it, is

That I should be tormented for ever.

I beseech thee to forgive me what is past ; according to the infinite greatness of thy tender Mercies,

To remember that I am a sinner, prone to evil : And to give me thy Grace,

With all holy care, watchfulness and Diligence,

To do that glorious work (without intermission)

Whereby

Thy happiness is enjoyed,

Thy Spirit delighted,

My Soul saved,

Crowned in thy Kingdom,

Advanced in thy Bosom.
