Prayer of our late Royal Martyr {Or his,f,Perfeeu-

{hall leave thefe, and return to that part of the Parallel,
" Which We meet Witha'l' here, viz. his praying'for his

Enemiegl’erfécutorsgnd Murderers,as St.Stepben does in

” the words of the 'I‘tz‘xt,Laral,14}l not tbirfln to .t/oez'rc/mrge.

In which words oblerv with me thcfe five particulars. ,
1. Here’s Dgfigmtio criminir , the defignation of' a
: r Crime,‘ or'Sing the pointing out of fo'mefpecial,

val-:vfignal,‘ remarkable Sin, this Sin. ‘
a . 2,-Re4thr, or meritampecmtz‘ , the guilt or demerit

of Sin in general, ’tis to} be [41d to the Sinner’s
Marge. - ‘

3. Mifizrioordiq Dei, the mercy‘of God 1n gmng a
r difcharge to Sinners {ometimesfin‘d HOt WW2 their

fin: to t’bez‘r'cbarge; This fuppos-fd, elfe it had been
in vain for stepben to ha’ made fuch a Prayer. '
4. Virtm Oratiom'r, the efficacy and power of Prayer

, ' in procuring a pardon, and prevailing with God to

grant a difc arge, and not-rota, [into the Marge

ofa Sinner. ' - , ' ' i ‘ ‘
5. And laflly, Oficizm Cbrz‘flz’ani, the! duty of Chri-
. ftians under the Crofs, by St. Stephen’s example to
,pray for their Perfecutors, as he did here, Lord,
'14} wt3 86c. ' ’ V ' . ' .
1. Here’s Defigmtio criminir, the pointing out offome '
lpecial, fignal, remarkable Sin, tbz‘: Sin: {ome extraordi-
nary great Sin fure it was, a Sin of the firfl magnitude,
crimen majori: 460113. This appears by our Martyr’s
Praying, and Praying f0 earnefily with a loud voice, for

H I S Pfalm , as ye may perceiv by the
tenour of 1t all along, is a Gratulator-y or
Euchariftieal Hymn, or P1211111 of Pra1f and
thankfgiving to God for delivering Ifleei,
