our humble supplications to thee for all our benefactors, friends, and relations, and also for our very enemies; let thy fatherly hand be ever over them, let thy Holy Spirit be ever with them, and so lead them in the knowledge and obedience of thy word, that in the end they may obtain everlasting life. Look with an eye of pity and compassion upon all those who are any ways afflicted or distressed in mind, body, or estate; give them patience under all their sufferings, and in thy due time a happy issue out of all their afflictions. And as we pray unto thee, O God! for ourselves and others, so we desire to bless and praise thy holy name for all thy goodness and loving kindness to us and to all men. We give thee hearty thanks for the preservation of us the day past, and the rest of our lives, from innumerable accidents and dangers, for the comforts and conveniences, as well as the necessaries of life. But above all, we laud and magnify and adore thy goodness in the redemption of the world by the death and passion of our Saviour Christ, both God and man; who did humble himself even to the death upon the cross for us miserable sinners, who lay in darkness and in the shadow of death, that he might make us the children of God, and exalt us to everlasting life. Teach us to express our thankfulness, by submitting ourselves entirely to his holy will and pleasure, and by studying to serve him in true holiness and righteousness all the days of our life. Accept, O Lord! of these our prayers and praises, in and through the mediation of Jesus Christ, our blessed Saviour and Redeemer; who hath taught us when we pray to say, Our Father, &c.
