O Lord help thou my unbelief I believe that the blessed Jesus laid down his life for me and acknowledge with all possible thankfulness his inexpressible kindness in so doing I believe that he gave himself for me and all Mankind that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purifie unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works therefore will I I endeavour to manifest my Faith by my works I believe that there is none other name under Heaven given among Men whereby they must be saved but the name of the Lord Jesus therefore in his name only I implore thy mercy increase of Faith here and of Glory hereafter Amen For Charity O Lord who hast taught us that all our doings without Charity are nothing worth send thy Holy Ghost and pour into my heart that most excellent gift of Charity the very bond of peace and of all Virtues without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee More especially now when I am going to commemorate the unspeakable love of my blessed Saviour in dying for me let me not be destitute of love towards my Brethren O let my readiness to forgive others their trespasses fit me for thy forgiveness of mine let me not be an enemy to any man lest I be thy enemy too but give me that Charity which covereth a multitude of Sins that Charity by which all Men may know me to be Christs Disciple which shall dispose me to be of a meek patient long suffering forgiving temper like him and to do good to all men as he did that Charity which shall never fail but shall go along with us into and make us fit Inhabitants for that City of Love the new Jerusalem Grant this O merciful Father for the sake of thy Son Christ Jesus through whose love alone we are encouraged to present these our requests to thee Amen A Prayer to be said in the morning before we communicate after our usual Prayers O Most gracious and ever merciful Lord God who art always wont to give more than we either desire or deserve accept I beseech thee my most humble and hearty thanks for thy great mercy in bringing me to the light of this day and thereby giving me an opportunity of meeting my dear Redeemer at his holy Table of testifying my love and gratitude to him and of communicating in all the blessed effects of his love towards me of renewing to him my Baptismal Vow of Faith and Obedience and of receiving from him fresh confirmations of the benefits made over to me in my Baptism even remission of sins grace and eternal life O that I may be careful duly to improve this happy opportunity now before me that I may eat and drink so worthily as to eat and drink my own Salvation that my sins which are many and great more especially all such as have been committed knowingly and wilfully such as Here mention those wilful sins if there are any such which thou knowest thy self to have been guilty of may be forgiven me and that henceforward whither I live I may live unto thee or whither I dye I may dye unto thee that so living or dying I may be ever thine And the same mercies which I beg for my self I beg likewise for all my fellow Christians more particularly those who shall this day any where partake in the Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ O let not one of their precious Souls perish who seem to be so near to the Kingdom of Heaven but do thou by thy Grace so assist and direct strengthen and support them now and evermore in doing thy will and working out their own Salvation that in the end they may obtain everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen A short Prayer to be said after that which we commonly say at our first coming into the Church GRant O blessed Jesu that the nearer I draw to thy Table the nearer I may likewise draw to thee in purity of heart and affections in strength and liveliness of Faith in fervency and extensiveness of Charity That so being of the same mind which was in thee and thinking believing and doing as becometh thy Disciple I may be meet to be partaker of those pledges of thy favour which thou now offerest at thy holy Table to all thy faithful Servants and of those Joys in another world which thou in thy mercy hast prepared for them Amen Just before we receive HEar those Prayers O Lord which have been offer'd up by thy Congregation and for the sake of thy well beloved Son Jesus Christ suffer us to draw nigh unto thee and to hope for thy mercy In his name alone it is that I a most vile wretch and miserable Sinner am bold to call thee Father and to intreat thy favour and forgiveness O let his merits answer for my unworthiness let his death preserve me from dying let his Body and Blood preserve my Body and Soul unto everlasting life Amen Immediately after receiving the Bread O Merciful Lord Grant I beseech thee that by virtue of thy dear Son's Body given for me and represented to me by this Bread I may become acceptable in thy sight obtain thy pardon and peace thy grace and assistance thy everlasting happiness and glory And do thou O Lord so fill my heart with thankfulness for the inestimable benefits of my Saviour's death and passion that I may be ready to do any thing even to lay down my life for him and that loving nothing more than him he may vouchsafe to think me worthy of him and to crown me with eternal Glory in his Kingdom Amen Immediately after receiving the Wine I Thank thee from the bottom of my heart O gracious God that thou hast redeemed us to thy self by the blood of thy Son O let me evermore bear in mind thy inexpressible kindness and condescension in so doing and shew forth my sense of them in a sincere universal and constant obedience to thee That so the Lord Jesus may be indeed the Author of Salvation to me and I being wash'd and cleans'd from all my sins in his Blood may appear pure and spotless before thee and be admitted to partake of those rivers of pleasure which are at thy right hand for evermore Amen When you return to your Seat GRant O blessed Lord that I and all those who meet together this day under pretence of commemorating thy death may so effectually remember it as for ever after to hate those sins which were the occasion of it so effectually remember it as constantly to love and adore thee for it so effectually remember it as to use our utmost endeavours to imitate and transcribe it so effectually remember it as to remember that we are thine bought with the price of thy Blood and are therefore bound to serve thee with our Bodies and Spirits which are thine Amen A Prayer to be used the evening after communicating with our other Devotions ACcept O Blessed Lord accept my

unfeign'd thanks for thy great mercy in admitting me this day to the sweet and comfortable communion of the Body and Blood of Christ and for all those benefits which I there receiv'd Enable me for the future to live worthy of them to make good all the promises and vows I there made and to continue stedfast in that Repentance Faith and Charity which I there profess'd Marvellous was thy love in sending thy Son to dye for us and particularly great has it been towards me in that it has caus'd me to be born in a Christian Country where I had early and easy opportunities of knowing the Christian Religion and that too in its utmost purity and simplicity and have long been protected and maintain'd in the free and undisturb'd exercise of it Oh that my behaviour may prove answerable to these mercies that I may use all these happy opportunities which many other poor Souls want as one that is truly sensible of the advantage of them that I may grow in Grace and the knowledge of Christ Jesus and abound in every good word and work to the praise and glory of God I know O Lord that if we sin wilfully after that we have receiv'd the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins but a certain looking for of judgment and fiery indignation O let me constantly carry this in my thoughts and seriously reflect upon it that so I may not be of them who draw back unto perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the Soul I pray likewise that all my fellow Christians may sincerely perform that covenant which they have this day made to thee that they may cease to do evil and learn to do well that they may be strong in the faith of Christ and love one another as he hath lov'd them that so thy honour may be effectually promoted the Salvation of all men farther'd thy Sons Kingdom enlarg'd and his coming hastened to the inexpressible comfort and eternal joy of all those who having sincerely obey'd the Gospel of Christ here shall evermore rejoyce in the blessed fruits and rewards of their Obedience in Heaven Grant this O merciful Father for the sake of thy well-beloved Son Christ Jesus to whom with thy self and thy Eternally blessed Spirit three persons but one God be all Honour and Glory Might Majesty and Dominion from this time henceforth and for evermore Amen The End Books Printed for Thomas Speed over against Jonathan's Coffee-House in Exchange Alley in Cornhil 1700.
