Prayers and Offices of Devotion, for Families and for Particular Persons Upon Most Occasions (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Prayers and Offices of Devotion, for Families and for Particular Persons Upon Most Occasions

Own lusts and pleasures. 0 put an end to all our presumptuous and treacherous dealings with thy heavenly all-seeing Majesty; and grant us new and clean, humble and contrite hearts, to tremble at thy word and presence, and to hate and abandon all our foolish and sinful misdoings. And wilt thou engage to thyself, O blessed Lord, the best and frequentest thoughts of our minds, the chiefand choicest affections ofour hearts, and the main tendency and activity of our souls; 0 let us be taken up with such content and delight in attendance upon thee, and communion with thee, that the most tempting things of this world may not pull us down into an inordinate or im moderate love of them; nor disturb and hinder us in the pursuit of what our faith foresees, and what thy love has prepared for, and promised to thy servants.

Excerpt from Prayers and Offices of Devotion, for Families and for Particular Persons Upon Most Occasions
I waited with some impatience to see that de sign accomplished by your accurate pen, which is here attempted now by my weak hand. Ever since you were pleased to acquaint me with your intention to publish something of this nature, it raised my expectation of your obliging the world with your printed Prayers, as you have done with many of your learned and season ahle Sermons; but after you had let me know the reason of holding your hand, the same might have stopt mine too; and i should have desisted, had the good Doctor who prevented you, or any of those worthy Authors, that thus bestowed their pains, descended to such particulars, as I thought fit for the use of those whom I desire to serve.
