✿ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that we may remember our selves so to be pilgrims & strangers in this world, that no glistering show of any riches, or power, or wisdom of this world do blind our eyes at any time: but that we may direct our sight, eyes and senses always to behold the kingdom of thy Son, and that we may so be there fixed, that nothing may hinder us to hast forward in the course of our vocation, whiles that at the length we may come to the mark which thou hast set before us and unto the which thou dost call us at this ⟨image 29⟩day by the trump and preaching of thy Gospel: and that at the length thou wilt gather us into that blessed eternity which is purchased for us by the blood of this thy Son, and that we may never be broken by this stone with the wicked world, but that being strengthened with his power, we may by him be raised up above all the heavens. Amen.
