Eternally praised be the Lord ray God, which lifloth the hnrahle from the base dust, ard maleth the hearts of vsnch as hope in him to rejoice; which of his grace openeth 1o them that beliere, the Sprirgs of In's hciraty, ard pntteth under their feet the worldly Spheres (or circles! of all earthly happinesses: In him be always onr trrst; in his fear onr felicity ; in his mercy, the glory of the re] aration of onr nature, and in our prayers, our unshaken assurance. And thou O God Almighty, as thy benignity hath vouchsafed to open upon earth before me (thy unworthy servant) all the treasures of the riches of the world ; so may it please thy great clemency, then when I shall be no more in the number of the living, to open unto me the treasures of heaven, and to let me behold thy Divine face, the Majesty whereof is a delight unspeakable, and the ravishing joy whereof never ascended into the heart of living man. I ask it of thee, for cur l ord Jesus Christ thy well beloved Son. his sake, who in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth with thee world without end. Amen.
