116. For those who are losing their Minds.

ALMIGHTY GOD, Who givest to all men liberally, and withdrawest Thy gifts according to the wise dispensation of Thy love, have mercy upon Thy servant, and pour out on him Thy grace, that he may give himself up into Thy hands without reserve. May Thy Holy Spirit so rule his heart, that he, abiding in Thy peace, may be thankful to exer cise, according to the measure of Thine appointment, those faculties which Thou givest 7tiw, and in submission to Thy will may find theillumination of Thy heavenly wisdom. Whatever of earthly knowledge Thou mayest withdraw from his mind, suffer him not to lose that know ledge of Thee wherein our everlasting life consists. “Whatever delusions may from time to time disquiet his outer thoughts, suffer not the deceits of the tempter to draw him away from the blessedness of communion with Thee. Give Thy holy angels charge concerning him, and even through the darkness compass him round;protect him evermore, and grant that, in body, soul, and spirit, he may in the end be presented fault less before the throne of Thy Majesty; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen,
