The pomander of prayer, newly madeThe pomaunder of prayer, newly made

Although I doubt not of thy fatherly provision for this my poor & needy life, yet for as much as thou hast both commanded and taught me by thy deer Son to pray unto thee for things ⟨image 41⟩necessary for this my life. I am bold at this present to come unto thy divine majesty most humbly beseeching thee that as thou hast given me life, so thou wilt give me meat and drink to sustain the same. Again as thou hast given me a body, so thou wilt give me clothes to cover it, that I having sufficient for my living, may the more freely & with the quieter mind apply my self unto thy service and honour.
