the Order for Burial in the Liturgy of the Church of England. This excellent Prelate had an extraordinary Tafte for Divine Poetry and Mufick, and was very happy in divers Compofitions of the former; with a Specimen of which he has prefented the Reader, at the latter End of this Tract, in the three excellent Hymns for the three great Divifions of the natural Day, viz. Morning, Evening, and Midnight. As for his Works in general, they will be a lafting Monument of his Worth; among which, the enfuing little Tract, written for the Ufe of a Foundation very dear to him, is far from being the meanest. We Jhall not attempt to fet forth its particular Beauties, fince they are obvious to every Reader: And indeed its practical Plainnefs, and noble Simpicity, have intitled it to the worthy Reception it has met with from all Ages and Degrees; though it must be acknowledged, it was more particularly calculated for the Benefit and Capacities of Youth.

THE PRAYERS, For the Ufe of the SCHOLARS of Winchester COLLEGE. An EXHORTATION to Young PHILOTHE US. STEF you have any Regard, good Philotheus, to your own eternal Happiness, it ought to be your chiefeft Care to ferve and glorify God. 'Tis for this End, God both made and redeemed you: And two excellent Rules he hath given you in Holy Scripture; by the confcientious Obfer Obfervation of which you will be able, thro' his Grace, to dedicate your tender Years to his Glory. The one teaches you what you are to do: Remember now thy Creator in the Days of thy Youth, Eccl. xii. 1. The other teaches you what you are to avoid Fly youthful Lufts, that is, all thofe Sins which are ufually incident to young Perfons, 2 Tim. ii. 22.

And how bitterly will he, with David, bewail the Sins of his Youth! Pf. xxv. 7. Learn then, good Philotheus, by the dear-bought Experience of others, to accuftom yourself to bear Chrift's Yoke from your Youth; and his Yoke will fit eafy on your Neck; for your Duty will grow natural to you by beginning betimes. Do but confider how welcome at young Convert is to God: It was to young Samuel, that God revealed himfelf, and that at fuch a Time too, when the Word of God was precious, and very rare; to fhew how much God honoured a young Prophet, 1 Sam. iii. 1. And you know, that St. John, the youngest of all the Disciples, is the only Perfon of all the Twelve, who was permitted to lean on our Saviour's Bofom at the laft Supper, as dearest to him in Affection, and who is emphatically called the |
