7. For the amending of everything that is amiss in the church, the reviving of primitive Christianity and the power of godliness, ; in order thereunto, the pouring out of the Spirit.
Lord, let thy Spirit be poured out upon thy churches from on high, and then the wilderness . shall become a fruitful field ; then judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Isa 32:15. Ps 94:15.
Let what is wanting be set in order, and let every plant that is not of our heavenly Father’s planting be plucked up. Titus 1:5. Matt 15:13.
Let the Lord whom we seek come to his temple like a refiner’s fire, and fuller’s soap, and let him purify the sons of Levy, and all the seed of Israel, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness, pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. Mal 3:1–4
Let pure religion, and undefiled before God and the Father, flourish and prevail every where ; that kingdom of God among men, which is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy © in the Holy Ghost. O revive this work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known, and let our times be times of reformation. Jas 1:27. Rom 14:17. Hab 3:2. Heb 9:10.
