ings which thou hast given in thy holy word, be more distinctly and loudly proclaimed, till all thy people separate themselves from that Man of Sin, whom thou wilt destroy with the brightness of thy coming. Every where may thy church be like the wise virgins, ready and prepared for the return of their Lord. May we take heed lest our hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon us unawares. Give us grace to watch and pray always, that we may be accounted worthy to escape those things which shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

Lord, gather in thy people Israel from every land; take away their sins, and turn away ungodliness from Jacob, that the receiving of them may be as life from the dead, and their fulness be far more the riches of the world than their casting away was; and so every where the Gentiles may fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

Thus may all the rich promises of thine own word be speedily accomplished, and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ; and the kingdom, and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Hear us, hear us, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

PRAYER FOR INFIDELS.

O THOU who hast called thy people to make supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings for all men, for that thou wouldest have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, I come unto thee in behalf of those who are denying the Lord that bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction,-who are treading under foot the Son of God, and counting the blood of the covenant, wherewith they were sanctified, an unholy thing, and doing despite to the spirit of grace. O thou Father of mercies and God of love, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Thou hast opened my eyes to see thy love towards me when an enemy to thee, and a rebel against thee: thou hast led me to see in the death of thine own Son, that thou lovest me, a sinner, with intense love, whilst thou hatest sin with unutterable abhorrence; and so I see thy glory in the face of Jesus, and return unto thee who hast redeemed me, and delight in thee my most holy and most loving Father. O open their eyes to see thy love to them in Christ Jesus; for thou so loved the world that thou gavest thine only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. In this day of rich, free, abounding grace, where sin abounds, O let grace more abound, and reign in their salvation unto eternal life through Jesus Christ; that multitudes may be snatched as brands from destruction, and become everlasting monuments of thy loving kindness to the chief of sinners. Hear, O hear me for Jesus' sake. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PAPISTS.

O LORD, known unto thee are all thy works from the beginning of the world. Thou hast foretold that the day of Christ should not come, except there came a falling away first, and the man of sin were revealed. We have seen that falling away, and we now behold millions calling themselves by the name of Christ, partaking of the sins of Babylon, and in fearful danger of receiving of her swiftly-coming plagues. I now earnestly call upon thee to have mercy upon them. Long hast thou delayed thy threatened judgments, by thy goodness leading men to repentance: 0 exalted Prince and Saviour, now bestow repentance and remission of sins on the papists. Open their eyes, O heavenly Father, to see the wrong which they do to him, who is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, and who, having been once offered, hath put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Open their eyes to see the speedy ruin coming upon all who belong to Babylon,-who shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. Open their ears, in this day of grace, to hear thy loving invitation to them, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. O Lord, may multitudes everywhere in this accepted time hear thy word and flee out of Babylon. May thy people everywhere lift up their voice as a trumpet, and point them to the only Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world; and may all the ends of the earth look unto thee and be saved. And speedily come, O Divine Redeemer, and put an end to the

days of sin and sinning, and reign triumphantly, King of kings, and Lord of lords, over the whole earth. Hear and answer, O heavenly Father, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
