¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, because we wander always so miserably in our own cogitations, that if we do attempt to worship thee at any time by our own phantasies, we do nothing else but profane and pollute the true and pure worship of thy majesty: again we are so easily drawn away to wicked superstitions as may be: Grant therefore that we may remain in the pure obedience of thy word, & that we never turn this way nor that way therefrom: And furnish thou us we beseech thee, with the invincible strength of thy spirit, that we never give place to any terrors or menaces of men, but that we may remain in the reverence of thy name to the end: and how soever the world do rage after their devilish errors, that yet we never fail from the right way, but continue in the right course unto the which thou callest us, whiles our race being ended we may come to that blessed rest which is laid up for us in the heavens, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
