A Prayer before Sermon.
Most holy and righteous LORD GOD, we humbly and heartily thank thee for our preservation this night past, pardon we beseech thee unto us the sins thereof; And now prepare and sanctify us, for a right and comfortable serving of thee in this morning sacrifice, and holy duties we take in hand. Enlighten our ⟨p. 136⟩minds and enlarge our hearts by thine own good Spirit, that we may rightly conceive of the great mystery of grace and true meaning of thy holy Word, that we treasure it up in our memories with an holy greediness, and after walk by the strength thereof, with all fruitfulness and power in all thy ways, all the days of our life, and that for thy CHRIST his sake.
