The Prayer.

:2482p. 412–416

Acknowledging our faults and imperfections, and that of our selves we can have no good thing if it be not given us from heaven, we will humble our selves before the high majesty of our good God and Father, full of all goodness and mercy, beseeching him that he will not enter into Judgement with us, to correct and punish us in his anger and wrath, having regard to our sins and iniquities, but that he look upon the innocency, justice, and obedience of his son Jesus Christ, whom he hath given to death for us, for whose sake if may please him to receive us all to mercy, and by his heavenly light to drive out of our hearts all darknesses, errors, and ignorances, and to fill us with his graces and the graces of his holy spirit, which may ⟨p. 415⟩bring us to the full knowledge of all truth, and may open to us the true understanding of his holy word, to the end that it be not corrupted by our carnal sense and understanding, but that he may give us the grace, as he hath spoken by his holy Prophets and Apostles, that being governed by one very Spirit, we may declare it to his honour and glory and to the edification of all men: and that we do not hear it only with our carnal ears, to our judgement and condemnation, as the Infidels and hypocrites do: but that we may receive the same into our hearts as true children of GOD, through true and lively Faith, the which may be effectuous and working through charity: learning thereby to renounce our selves, all Idolatry, all wicked superstitions and carnal affections, to put wholly all our trust in him, and to consecrate and conform our selves wholly unto his holy will, to the end that our life and conversation may be to his honour and his praise, and that for our Lord Jesus Christs sake, we may be found without blame, and without spot
