¶ For a quiet conscience.

The wicked is like a raging sea which is never in quiet, neither is there any peace to the ungodly, but such as love thy law (O Lord) they have plenty of peace, they have quiet minds and contented consciences, which is the greatest treasure under the Sun given of thee to so many as seek it at thy hand with true faith & continual prayer. Give me (O Lord) that joyful Jewell, even a quiet ⟨p. 29⟩mind and a free merry conscience ytI being free from the damnable accusations of Satan, from the crafty persuasions of the world, from the subtle enticements of the flesh, from the heavy curs of the law, and fully persuaded of thy merciful goodness toward me through faith in thy Son Christ Jesus, may quietly serve thee both bodily and ghostly in holiness and righteousness all the days of my life.
