❧ For a good name.

Nothing becometh the professor of thy name better ⟨image 40⟩(O heavenly Father) than so to behave him self according to his profession, that he may be well reported of them, that be of the household of Faith, yea such sincerity and pureness of life ought to be in them which proofs thy holy name, that the very adversaries of thy truth should be ashamed once to mutter against them. Give me grace therefore I most entirely desire thee so to frame my life according to the rule of ⟨p. 39⟩thy blessed word, that I may give no man occasion to speak evil of me, but rather so live in my vocation, that I may be an example to other, to live Godly and virtuously unto the honour and praise of thy glorious name.
