IN thy law (O thou maker of heaven and earth) thou hast appointed us a way to walk in, and hast commanded ⟨image 36⟩that we should turn neither on the right hand, nor on the left, but do according to thy good will and pleasure, with out adding of our own good intents and fleshly imaginations. As thou hast commanded, so give me grace good Lord, to do. Let me neither follow mine own will, nor the fancies of other men, neither let me be beguiled with the visor of old customs, long usages, fathers, decrees, ancient laws, nor ⟨p. 35⟩any other thing that fighteth with thy holy ordinances & blessed commandment, but faithfully believe & steadfastly confess it, to be the true godliness, which is learned in thy holy Bible, & according unto that to order my life unto the praise of thy holy name.
