A Short Prayer on First Going into the Seat at Church

Lord, I am now in thy house: assist, I pray Thee, and accept of my services. Let thy Holy Spirit help my infirmities; disposing my heart to seriousness, attention, and devotion; to the honour of thy holy name, and the benefit of my soul, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Jmen.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SEAT. Blessed be tVy name, O Lord! for this opportunity of at-

tending Thee in thy house and service. Make me, I prap Thee, a doer of thy word, not a hearer only. Accept both us and our services, tlu’ough our only Mediator, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
