¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing mans hart is so full of hypocrisy that there is nothing more hard then to purge it from all lies, errors, feigning & dissimulation: that we may learn to examine our selves fully and substantially: and also that thou wilt so shine unto us with ⟨p. 19⟩the light of thy spirit, that we may verily know our hid vices, and that thou wilt drive them far away from us, that thou only mayest be our God, and that true holiness may prevail amongest us, and that we may give thee pure and unspotted worship and honour, and that we may live with upright consciences in this world, and so be content every one with our own state that we study always for the commodity of our brethren, whiles that at the length we be partakers of that true glory which thou hast prepared for us in the heavens by Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
