"In passing along the Street, I sell myself to bless thousands of persons, who never knew that I did it; with secret Wishes, after this manner sent unto Heaven for them. Upon the sight of: "A tall Man: Lord, give that Man, High Attainments in Christianity; lett him fear God, above many. "Children at Play: Lord, lett not these Children always forgett the Work, which they came into the World upon. "A Very little Man: Lord, bestow great Blessings upon that Man, and above all, thy Christ, the greatest of Blessings. "A Man carrying a Burden: Lord, help this Man, to carry a burdened Soul, unto his Lord-Redeemer. "A Man on Horseback: Lord, thy Creatures do serve that man; help him to serve his Maker. "Young People: Lord, help these Persons to remember their Creator in the Dayes of their Youth. "Young Gentlewomen: Lord, make em wise Virgins, as the polish'd Stones of thy Temple.
