We pray also for wholesome air. Item we pray for seasonable weather, when we have to much rain we pray for fair weather: again when we lack rain we pray that god will send rain. And in that prayer we pray for our cattle, that god will preserve them to our use, from all diseases: for without cattle we can not live, we can not till the ground nor have meat, therefore we include them in our prayer to.

For here we be admonished of the liberality of god our heavenly father, which he showeth daily over us. For our saviour1 knowing the liberality of god our heavenly father come maundeth us to pray, if he would not give us the things we ask. Christ would not have commanded us to pray, if he had born an ill will against us. Christ would not have sent us to him. But our saviour knowing his liberal heart towards us, commandeth us to pray and desire all things at his hands.
