 PREFACE 
 
 That every intelligent being should do homage 
 to Him who gave this being, and continues it to 
 him with all its benefits, is a principle so obvious 
 as to require no reasoning to establish it. Yet 
 many, yea most among us, withhold thb tribute 
 so justly due. No further proof is needed to 
 show and demonstrate that this is a ^Ibyal and 
 rebellious world. It would not be correct to 
 say, that all who pray are loyal subjects qf the 
 Great King, and shall be received at length into 
 his court in heaven. Biit on th^ other hand, it 
 would be perfectly correct to say,|hat those who 
 do not pray, are guilty of high treason against 
 ** the Blessed and Onfly Potentate," and shall 
 receive the condign punishment due to traitors 
 in the great day when God shall judge this world 
 which he made and redeemed. — Ye therefore who 
 pray not, hear, and fear, and turn unto the 
 Lord without delay, lest ye be shut up speedily 
 in the everlasting prbon-house, out of which no 
 prayers can deliver you. •'•■ . 
 
 But of those who pray, not alt shall be saved. 
 What is requisite then to that prayer which shall

 of oui* souls? This 
 
 IS a 
 
 rirBt, then :— We mutt pray to God assinners, 
 and through Jesus Christ God will not hear 
 u^ unless we come to him through t^e Great 
 Medmtop; nor wiU he hear us, unless we come 
 ^ to him i^fbssing ourselves sinners, guUty, and 
 eorrupted, having no righteousness of our own. 
 a^^ being unable to deKver ounelyek Uom the 
 state of condemnation in which we lie. 
 
 Secondly s— We must pray in sincerity, and in 
 eam«tness. It is to God we pra^nd heis the 
 
 ■earcher of the heart, aod can only be worshipped 
 m Mncerity* with our hearts and not with our 
 Iipa only. Earnestness also is inseparably con- 
 nected with right prayer, considering how deeply 
 we are concerned in the meaning and foroe of 
 the words we use as sinners suing for mercy that 
 we perish not. 
 
 •*i.^'''';^^!T^*'"""*P"y***^od, assinners, 
 through Christ, in sincerity and earnestness, that 
 he would mercifuUy pardon bur guilt, on account 
 of the Great Sacrifice of the Son of God, offered 
 up on the cross for o^r sins, and accepted of God 
 10 our stead. v '^ ^'^ 
 
 Fourthly :-«We must pray to God, in thename 
 of Christ who died for our sins, and who liveth 
 
 to make intercession for us, that he would in his

 Fifthly: — We must pray with the firm pur- 
 pose an^ resolution of following God and the 
 Lamb, devoting ourselves to the service and 
 glory of lour h4?avenly Father hi all obedience 
 and diligence, according to the directions of Holy 
 Scripture. 
 
 Now, he who will thus pray, and will persevere 
 unto the end thus praying and thus doing, sliull 
 be saved* and blessed with endless felicity. But 
 he who will not pray at all, or who will not pray 
 aright, shall have for his award everlasting per- 
 dition. 
 
 This little maiiual is offered to all who wish 
 
 for some help in this great duty of prayer : and 
 
 may God bless all into wh|||halicrs it may come,

 for evermore. Enlighten my eyes, Q God, to see 
 
 . thee in thy vast creation,' and to study thee in 
 all thy manifestations. The Keavens, O Lord, 
 in air their brightness and ^lendour' show forth 
 thy glory, and th|r^arth in all its fulness and 
 variety manifesu thy wisdom and goodness^ 
 Open mine eyes, O Lord my God, to behold the 
 heavens a^d to behold tlie earth, in such a man- 
 ner that I lAay give thee glory in them, and that 
 I piay find therein rich instruction, godly enjoy- 
 ment, and heavenly exaltation and blessedness. 
 
 Sacred, O Lord, is this dfay among the sieven, 
 as a commemoration of thjr creative power and 
 of thy wisdom and goodness in the heavens above 
 and in the earth beneath. But, O God, the 
 
 ^ sacredness.of this day i^ greatly and gloriously 
 
 ^ enhanced to us, as the day of. the Lord JesuA, 
 Christ, as the- day on which our adorable Re-, 
 deemef rose from the dead triumphant over all 
 our foes, Imd as the first fruits of tfae^ resur- 
 rection from the dead. O Lord God,^ raise up,*

 from the dead to the hope of life in Christ, and 
 thy Spirit, O God, thou hast condescended to 
 g|ve me to lead me in the ways oC truth and 
 righteousness. Also .by thy good hand upon 
 me, O Lord, I am favoured with great and pre- 
 cious privileges in thy kingdom. This day I 
 enjoy thy holy Sabbath, here this- morning I 
 enjoy retirement and access to tM^hrone of 
 grace, and on this thy day I am ttnowed and 
 'honoured to wait on thee ^the great congrega- 
 tion of thy servants, and to%njoy the benefit of 
 all thy ordinances. 
 
 O btess me, my Father, bless me, I beseech thee 
 on this thy sacred day. O let me have fellow- 
 ship with thee to-day, and draw thou very near 
 to me in the richness of thy goodness and mercy 
 and love. Bless me, O my God, in this my 
 morning address and supplication, and bless me 
 graciously at every time on which I may pour 
 out my private petitions before thee this day. 
 On every such occasion may I find that God is 
 with me, and that my prayers are acceptable in 
 thy sight. Bless me, O my God, this day in all 
 my meditations on thee, on the redemption of 
 Christ, on all my duties, on all my state, and on 
 all my prospects ; and feed my soul on all these 
 occasions'witb the bread of life which shall make 
 . me to live for ever. Bless me also, O my Father, 
 in all my communications with thy people to-day, 
 whilst we speak of the glory of thy kingdom and 
 talk of thy power, whilst we build each other up, 
 -and^make te tbee^ur united supplicationg. A nd, 
 O do thou bless me, my Father, in the great 
 congregation, when I meet with thy flock and

 Almighty God, Creator, Redeemer, and Re- 
 novator of the world, this day is thy day, the 
 i3ay which thou bast given and appointed to 
 * comKnemorate the creation of this world and its 
 redemption, „9,nd the day which thou hast espe- 
 cially consecrated for the conversion of sinners 
 and for building them up in all knowledge of 
 thyself and in all holiness of life. Give out, O 
 Lord God, this day, give out from ^hine infinite 
 fulness all grace unto all thy people. iVTSy thy 
 whole church be watered this day and be nour- ■ 
 ished and cherished by the power of thy Spirit 
 working on the whole, and working on each in- 
 dividual member of the Body of Christ. Mer- 
 cifully consider, O pod, the low estate or thy 
 Church, in its ignorance, its weakness, its un-- 
 sanctifiedness, its divisions and contentions, and 
 in its small extent among the nations of the 
 earth, and in the fewness of its members. O God 
 of all goodness and grace, thou art righteous, 
 but thy church is guilty. Thou wouldest have 
 had thy church full of knowledge and strength, 
 fully sanctified to thyself, and completely united 
 in one body^ in one heart and soul, and thou 
 wouldest have had thy church co-extensive with 
 the whole world and all its inhabitants. But thy 
 church has neglected thy injunction to preach 
 Uie gwpel in ali the, world and to every creature ; 
 
 iby church has neglected thy cbmmand to be" 
 
 perfectly joined together in one body and to do 
 
 all things iif love, and thy church has neglected

 Be present^ O God, this day in every assembly 
 congregated in thy name. May all thy people 
 be nourished and strengthened by the truth ; and 
 may the careless, the unbeliever, the erring, the 
 luke-warra, and all the wicked be duly warned 
 and be led to fear and to seek after the Lord 
 with all their hearts and souls. 
 
 O most merciful God, since it is thy will that 
 all men should be saved and come to the know- 
 ledge of the truth, do thou greatly stir up all thy 
 church to seek the extension of thy kingdom, 
 jnd to labour diligently and powerfully to make 
 known thy salvation in every country under 
 heaven. Glory be to thy name, O God, for 
 what thou hast already wrought in these our 
 days. O Lord, bless all Missionaries, and.may 
 their numbers greatly increase. 
 N And now, Lord my God, be pleased to look 
 upbn thy poor unworthy servant bowing at this 
 time and in this spot before thee. He has been 
 making supplications for thy church, and thy 
 church ever would he consider most near and 
 dear unto him, and he knows that in its pros- 
 perity he shall prosper. Lord, hear these prayers 
 for thy church, and answer them ako, O Lord, 
 for me, even for me. May I be a true and 
 proper member of the body of Christ, filling up 
 duly and faithfully the part thqu hast assigned 
 me in thy kingdom. 
 
 O my F athe r in h eaven , very g r acious l y re- ^ 
 gard me this day, in all its parts, and in all its 
 duties and services. Grant me thy Spirit in 
 private prayer, in the reading of thy holy word

 audience. Nay, thou hast encouraged us to dravr 
 ' near to thee by the ipost friendly and fatherly 
 invitations. Thou ha^t said that thou art the 
 hearer of prayer, that, none ever sought thee in 
 vain ; thou hast said that as a father pitieth his 
 children, so dost thou pity those who fear thee ; 
 and thou hast told us to cast all our cares upon 
 thee, assuring us by thy faithful word, that thou 
 carest for us. O God of love, what can I say 
 to and for all these things ? Lord, I am ashamed 
 before thee, when I think on all thy condescen- 
 sion, and love, and goodness, and that I have 
 been so little affected by the same, and have so 
 little believed thy, |Vords, and so little attended 
 to thy blessed tmd gracioui^;;' encouragements 
 given me that I might come to thee, and pour 
 out all my heart and soul before thee, as a son 
 to a father tender and powerful. Now, O Lord, 
 I come, and would ever hereafter come, and with 
 increased faith and love and confidence. O give 
 me the whole spirit of prayer, and give me all 
 
 the blessings of prayer. _ _ i __^ l- . : 
 
 Most Blessed God, thou hast taught me what 
 is the manner of access to thee, that it is, and 
 must be, only in the name of Jesus, who died for 
 this guilty world, and made atonement f<Jr men 
 by the shedding of his own most precious blood, 
 and who now lives at thy right hand as a great 
 high pri^t, intercessor, and mediator, to make 
 intercession for every poor sinner who repents 
 before thee, confesses his sin, and implores for- 
 giveness through his all meritorious sacrififlP.

 yond number, and I am altogether vile. Lord, 
 have mercy upon me for the sake of Christ; 
 Lord forgive me through his atonement ; Lord

 INDIVIDUAL PRAYER FOR TUESDAY EVENING. 
 
 Father Almighty, maker and governor of all, 
 I adore thee in thy out-goings of the mornings 
 and the evenings. How glorious art thou, O 
 Lord, in all thy works. O that my eyes were 
 directfid, and cleared, to se^ thee in them all, and 
 that I might be led to adore the^in them all, as 
 I ought to do. O fill me with the highest sense 
 of thy wisdom and goodness in all thy works, and 
 iu all thy arrangements. 
 
 Blessed be thy name, O God, for the return 
 of the evening. The sun has gone down at thy 
 command, and thou hast drawn the curtain of 
 darkness over all. Blessed be thy name, O God, 
 for the rest thou preparest for man after the 
 labours of the day. Blessed be thy name for the 
 sweet sleep which thou causest to fall upon us 
 for our refreshment and restoration. O may thy 
 goodness herein be seen and felt by me, in my 
 lying dot^n and in my awaking. Tune my last 
 thoughts at night, O my God, and my first 
 thoughts in the morning, to praise Jhee, and to 
 adore thee ; and may I rejoice in thee, through 
 Christ, as my own beloved heavenly Father, and 
 my God. 
 
 JiQKLJGod Almlghiy, I thank thftfi , with a^ 
 
 whole heart, for all thy mercies and blessings 
 vouchsafed to me throughout this day. O that I 
 could see more clearly and' extensively all thy 
 goodneM to me day by day. O Lord, anoint

 approve themselves unto Christ and to his church,

 by the armour o^ righteousness on the right

 God, on all the nominal members of thy Church. 
 O Lord, alarm them and make them to see 
 their dangerous and awful state, and convert 
 them into real and true and fruitful branches 
 of the living vine. O Lord, send forth thy 
 gospel to the places to which it has not yet 
 come. May the blessed proclamation of mercy 
 speedily be heard over all the earthy ai)d by every . 
 individual. Bless thy servants who are labouring 
 in Satan's kingdom, and make them daily to 
 conquer, and to deliver captives out of his hands, 
 and prosper them in destroying his usurped 
 power. May Satan fall like lightning to the 
 ground, and may the sway of Jesus soon extend 
 over all the^_fiarth,,iliat.hlpHB«»dneM m ay abound

 glorified in all. Forgive, O Lord, I beseech 
 thee, all my sins in all my duties this day, for 
 alas! in every thing I come short of thy glory. 
 Pardon my tran8|pfessions in all my ways.

 throughout the day now drawing to a close. O 
 Lord God, thy hand has been upon me from the

 been sustained in life through all the hours and

 that sustains me, and the breaths of life I draw

 abounding in ffratitufle and humility." O Lord, 
 give me this^day my diurnal bread, that my body 
 may be sustained in health and strength : and 
 give me, O my Father, my daily portion of the 
 bread of life, that my soul may be nourished and 
 strengthened !' and, O God* in all my heart and 
 soul may I glorify thee all the day long, accord- 
 ing to thy holy will cbncerning me. 
 
 This day, O my- Father, let me adorn the 
 doctrine of God my Saviour, as a poor redeemed 
 sinner. Guilty, O Lord, and depraved, and de- 
 filed i am in all my ways. Let me constantly 
 remember this my trfie condition, that I may be. 
 ever humble before thee, and in the si^ht of all • 
 around me. Give me, CKLord, continually to 
 see the rich merit of ihe sacrifice of Christ which 
 avails tto the justifying and cleansing of such a 
 sinner as I am. 
 
 Fill me, O God, with thy Spirit, that I may 
 rejoice in thy salvation all the day, and that I 
 may bring forth the fruits of the Spirit in all my 
 words, thoughts, and deeds. O lead me not into 
 temptation ; for gribat is mv weakness, and deliver 
 me, I pray thee, from the evil one itt all his 
 snares, and malice. Enable me to put on the 
 whple armour of €rod ; may I strive mightily to 
 ir stand, and by thy grace may, I stand firm, steads 
 fyst, and unmoved in the grace of God and of the 
 Lord Jesus Cluist. 
 
 Almighty God, thon hearer of p r ayer, hear, I 
 beseech thee,^»die prayers and supplications of all 
 thy chiirch on my behalf. And, O God, do thou 
 bimd up, en&ige, and beaot^y thy chncch upon 
 earth, that u may more nearly resemble thy

 O Lord, I thank thee for keeping me in some

 having enabled me to set thee before me in my 
 various duties, and to seek to honour and to 
 glorify thy name. Not unto me, O Lord, not 
 unto me, but unto thy name, be all the honour 
 and glory. O Lord, I lament, that with these

 Son, and sanctify me wholly to thyself through 
 thy Holy Spirit dwelling in me. _

 light are one. ThOu, the keeper of Israel, 
 slumberest not nor deepest. Watch over me, i 
 O my Father, through this night, and graciously
