our enemies, and bring them to a fenfe of their
errours, and take from them thole fatal prejudices
with which they bar their breafts againft the force

earth they may be fcattered, may not only magnify
thy great and glorious name, O Jehovah, but may
be laved from all troubles and perfecutions; that
the glorious ftrudfure may arrive at the height of
heavenly perfection.
