I thank thee from my Soul for this abundant Grace so
freely and undesired conferred upon us. Which encouraged
one to hope in thee now that thou inclinest my head towards
thee and hast given me a thankful sense of thy
love and some will to obey thee and holy resolutions to
cleave unto thee in well-doing that thou wilt not deny
me the constant assistance of that good Spirit which our
Saviour bid us ask of thee to Strengthin confirm and settle
what thou hast begun to do for me in a perfect love
and steadfast obedience to all thy holy commands.

O Gods of all Grace and might the root of
our Life and power of strength without whom all good
desires and purposes wither and die withdraw not the
sweet influences of they Holy Spirit from thine unworthy
Servant who intirely confides in thee and hath no
hope but in thine infinite mercies. Remember not
against me former iniquities let them not cut one
off from the communications of thy Grace which is wont
to press into those Souls that open themselves to receive it
and seriously thirst after it. My Soul thirsteth for thee
O God that I may be more Firmly united to thee and be
made more exacly like thee in unchangable righteousness
purity and goodness.

Cherish and increase the
most faint but sincere motions which thou seeth in
me toward a more compleat participation of thee.
And especially preserve in me a full confidence in
thine Almighty Love as ready to accomplish the desires
and endeavor of all those who yield themselves unto it
in
