POPERY CONDEMN^ED Bt<br />

" give thanks unto his mo<strong>the</strong>r, for her mercy<br />

*'<br />

endureth for ever *."<br />

Such an edition of <strong>the</strong>.Psalms, &c. it may be<br />

easily conceived, must contain abundant specimens<br />

of <strong>the</strong> same kind. At present, I will<br />

only transcribe <strong>the</strong> concluding prayer. " O<br />

*'<br />

my holy Lady Mary, I commend to thv<br />

*'<br />

*'<br />

blessed trust <strong>and</strong> special custody, <strong>and</strong> into <strong>the</strong><br />

bosom of thy mercy, this day, <strong>and</strong> every day,<br />

*'<br />

<strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> hour of death, both my soul, <strong>and</strong><br />

" body. I commit all my hope <strong>and</strong> consola-<br />

*'<br />

tion, all my troubles <strong>and</strong> my miseries, my<br />

" life <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> end of my life, to <strong>the</strong>e, that, <strong>by</strong><br />

**<br />

thy most holy intercession <strong>and</strong> merits, all my<br />

*'<br />

works may be directed <strong>and</strong> disposed according<br />

" to thine <strong>and</strong> thy Son's v/ill. Amen.'*<br />

The R. will perceive, that many caudal appendages<br />

must be docked from this prayer,<br />

before<br />

it can be reduced to <strong>the</strong> simple form of<br />

*'<br />

Holy Virgin, pray for us.'*<br />

If Popish tales be true, <strong>the</strong> Rom.ish Church<br />

is under very strong obligations to pay all this<br />

homage, <strong>and</strong> a great deal more, to <strong>the</strong> Virgin.<br />

There is<br />

scarcely any favour which she has withheld<br />

from her devout worshippers.<br />

She has delivered<br />

<strong>the</strong>m from sickness, restored <strong>the</strong>ir eyesight,<br />

preserved <strong>the</strong>m from dangers, saved <strong>the</strong>m<br />

from <strong>the</strong> gallows, <strong>and</strong> even raised <strong>the</strong>m from<br />

<strong>the</strong> dead ; <strong>and</strong>, what must peculiarly tend to<br />

<strong>the</strong><br />

* Ps. cvii.
