PRAYER. LET US PRAY, that we begin even in this world the happiness of heaven. That we remember Aaron, in our willingness to put off all the honourable engagements, and dignities, and distinctions of life, and to die when God commands. That in all our spiritual sufferings from the poison of "the old serpent," we lift up a better Sacrifice than the ancient Law provided, and pray for our cure from a greater High Priest than was Aaron. That God would tread down all enemies under our feet, and enable us to persevere to the end. O God of heaven and earth, Father of the souls of all men, who hast graciously been pleased, in compassion to their ignorance and weakness, to give Thy holy Revelation to the world, and to assure us, in its sacred pages, of the existence of a state beyond the grave, where there shall be no temptation to allure us, and no sin to conquer us; mercifully grant to us such a measure of Thy grace, that now, even now, while we still wander in the wilderness of this present life, we may begin to know within ourselves that peace of God which arises from the hope of Thy glory, the subduing of the power of temptation, and the hatred of wilful sin.
