Behold, O God, thou desireth truth in the vard parts; therefore I will not remove integrity; my heart shall nor reproach so long as I live.

He that walketh uprightly, walketh surely; · if there be a willing mind, to do justice, love rey, and walk humbly, it will be accepted. May we not imitate those, who make use of ligion as a cloak to cover their evil designs. r behold, their joy is but for a moment, d their expectation shall be cut off.

Who can understand his errors? Cleanse , O Lord from secret faults. Keep back y servants also from presumptuous sins; en shall we be upright before thee, and reice in conscious integrity.

Search us, O God, and know our thoughts; eclaim us from every evil way, and lead us the way everlasting.

O thou Father of mercies, and eternal ource of joy and consolation, we beseech ee to inspire our souls with that spirit of harity and candour, which is the brightest esemblance of thy benevolent nature, and the ost glorious ornament of a christian.

We ourselves are taught of God to love ne another; for this commandment have we Trom him, that he who loveth God, loveth his rother also.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour, but s kind and beneficent to all, ready to distriute, willing to communicate; therefore love s the fulfilling of the law.

Above all things, let us have fervent chariy among ourselves; for charity maketh can

did allowance for human frailties and infirmi ties, and covereth a multitude of sins.

Judge not that ye be not judged; for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

Charity thinketh no evil; it harboureth no private grudges or unreasonable suspi cions; it believeth and hopeth all things as candour dictates, putting the most favourable construction on men's words and actions.

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

Whoso watcheth for iniquity shall be cut off; and what confidence can any one have in the day of the Lord, who maketh his brother an offender for a word? Such shall not inherit his kingdom.

Thou art inexcusable, O man that judgest when thou that judgest dost the same things for wherein thou judgest another, thou con demnest thyself.

Every man must answer for himself, before the Judge of all the earth, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of all hearts; then shall every man, who hath done well have praise and honour, but infamy shall fall upon the workers of iniquity.

May our souls be inspired with christian candour and charity, and our lives be regulat ed by the sublime maxims of the gospel; then we shall see the salvation of God, and be able to lift up our faces with joy and confi

dence, at the day of the revelation of his righteous judgment.

EXER. XXII.

Calculated, like the immediately preceding, to promote love and friendship and universal benevolence, and the importance and advantage of Divine Revelation.

Mas. O THOU God of love and peace, inspire us, we beseech thee, with the heavenly dispositions of benevolence and friendship, and, according to the measure of our capacities, may we be imitators of thy goodness, as we have opportunity.

Fam. O our Father in heaven, may it please thee to divest us of a spirit of pride, envy and malevolence, and to endue us with that christian temper of charity, which shall flow in the perpetual streams of beneficence toward one another and toward all around us.

Teach us, O Lord, to preserve the honours, and perform the duties belonging to every one, in their several stations and relations, as superiors, inferiors, or equals.

Then shall our lot in life be sweetened with domestic harmony, joy and comfort, and we shall be happy in the reciprocal embraces of mutual affection.

Rejoicing with those who rejoice, and weeping with those who weep, we shall know then by happy experience, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

May the God of patience and consolation grant us to be like minded one toward another, that we may with one heart glorify him through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The wisdom that is from above, averse to envying, strife, and vain glory, is peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated; full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

With sympathetic feelings, it participates in the joys and sorrows that alternately mark the lot of humanity, and is always ready, as far as possible, to mitigate the woes of the afflicted and distressed.

What man is he who loveth life, and wisheth to see good days, let him avoid the paths of guile and bypocrisy, and follow after the things that make for peace, shewing meekness and good will to all men.

Let every man study to be quiet, and attend to his own business, endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

For there is one Lord, one faith, one bap tism, one God and Father of all; and all men are brethren and partakers of the same common nature, though widely dispersed over the face of the earth.

And God to all whose friendly hearts
"With mutual love abound,

"Hath firmly promis'd length of days,
"With constant blessings crown'd."

O thou universal Parent and Preserver of men, in order to expand and improve our be nevolence, we humbly implore thy blessing

pon the great family of human kind in all eir dispersions through the four quarters of e globe.

God hath made of one blood all nations the earth; and though he hath dispensed is blessings among them in various and difrent proportions, yet he hath not left any of em without a witness of his goodness.

Blessed be his name that he hath been leased, according to the counsels of his unearchable wisdom, to raise us above the genrality of our fellow creatures, in regard to he privileges, advantages and enjoyments, oth civil and religious.

While we adore his goodness for all distinuishing blessings, let us devoutly pray that,

his own due time all the nations of the arth, from the rising to the setting sun, may hare with us in the blessings of outward eace and prosperity, of rational liberty and good civil government, in connection with the lessings of evangelical light andgrace, which are our greatest glory and felicity.

O thou eternal source of wisdom and knowedge, we rejoice in all the discoveries which hou hast made to us of thyself, in thy works, nd in thy word; and we humbly implore thy guidance and direction in all important conernments.

We return thee our most hearty thanks, hat thou hast not confined us to the book of mature, but hast opened before us the sacred volume of thy word, wherein we are clearly aught how we may escape the wrath to come, nd inherit eternal life.
