may fit us for the fociety of heavenly minds.-And, finally, we must commend and entrust our fouls to HIM, who died for the fins of men; with earnest wishes and humble hopes, that he will admit us with the labourers who entered the vineyard at the last hour, and afsociate us with the thief whom he pardoned on the cross!

To this great end, you will not refufe to unite with me, on bended knees, and with humbled hearts, in fervent prayer to the throne of grace! May the Father of mercy hear our fupplications, and have compaffion upon us !

"O almighty Lord God, the righteous JUDGE of all the earth, who in thy providential juftice doft frequently inflict severe vengeance upon finners in this life, that thou mayeft by their fad examples effectually deter others from committing the like heinous offences; and that they themselves, truly repenting of their faults, may escape the condemnation of hell;-look down in mercy upon us, thy forrowful fervants, whom thou haft fuffered to become the unhappy objects of offended justice in this world!

"Give us a thorough fenfe of all thofe evil thoughts, words, and works, which have so provoked thy patience, that thou haft been pleased to permit this public and shameful judgment to fall upon us; and grant us fuch a portion of grace and godly fincerity, that we may heartily confefs, and unfeignedly repent of every breach of thofe most holy laws and ordinances, which if a man do, he fball even live in them.

"Let no root of bitterness and malice, no habitual and deadly fin, either of omiffion or commiffion, remain undisturbed in our hearts! But enable us to make our repentance univerfal, without the least flattering or deceitful referve, that so we may clear our consciences before we close our eyes.

"And now that thou haft brought us within the view of our long home, and made us fenfible, that the time of our diffolution draweth near; endue us, we humbly pray thee, O gracious Father, with such christian fortititude, that neither the terrors of thy prefent difpenfa

tions, nor the remembrance of our former fins, may have power to fink our fpirits into a despondency of thy everlasting mercies in the adorable Son of thy love.

"Wean our thoughts and affections, good Lord, from all the vain and delufive enjoyments of this tranfitory world; that we may not only with patient refignation fubmit to the appointed ftroke of death, but that our faith and hope may be fo elevated, that we may conceive a longing defire to be diffolved from these our earthly tabernacles, and to be with Chrift, which is far better than all the happiness we can wish for befides!

"And in a due fenfe of our own extraordinary want of forgiveness at thy hands, and of our utter unworthinefs of the very leaft of all thy favours of the meanest crumbs which fall from thy table-Oh! bleffed Lord Jefus make us fo truly and univerfally charitable, that in an undiffembled compliance with thy own awful command, and most endearing example, we may both freely forgive and cordially pray for our most inveterate enemies, perjecutors, and flanderers !-Forgive them, O Lord, we beseech thee-turn their hearts, and fill them with thy love!

"Thus, may we humbly truft, our forrowful prayers and tears will be acceptable in thy fight. Thus fhall we be qualified, through Chrift, to exchange this dismal bodily confinement [and thefe uneafy fetters] for the glorious liberty of the fons of God.-And thus fhall our legal doom upon earth be changed into a comfortable declaration of mercy in the highest heavens: and all through thy moft precious and all-fufficient merits, O bleffed Saviour of mankind'!-who with the Father, and the Holy Ghoft, liveft and reigneft ever, One Gad, world without end. Amen.

It has long been a matter of surprise to the admirers of Shakespeare, that the moft interefting or favourite jeenes of that great bard have not been selected; particularly Since the commencement of Garrick's dramatic reign, who faw numberless beauties in this poet's different pieces, which were, till he displayed them on the ftage, left in abfcurity.

AUTHOR.

Thofe writers who lie on the watch for novelty, can have little hope of greatness; for great things cannot have escaped former obfervation.

Ibid.

It is the fault of fome writers, that they purfue their thoughts to their laft ramifications; by which they lofe the grandeur of generality.

Ibid.

There are thofe who condemn authors for a want of novelty, which they are only fuppofed to want, from their accufers having already found fimilar thoughts in later books; not knowing, or enquiring, who produced them firft. This treatment is unjuft. Let not the original author lose by his imitators.
