The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, that whereas we see the wicked to be carried with so great rage after their fond and filthy imaginations, and that they are so puffed up with so great pride and arrogancy: that we may learn true humility and so subject our selves unto thee, that we may depend wholly of thy mouth, and that we enterprise nothing without thy warrant: And when we have learned what worship pleaseth thee, that we may constantly continue in the same unto the end, and neither by any perils, neither by any threatenings or cruelty to be moved away from our stability, neither that we be led out of the way at any time: but persevering in the obedience of thy word, thou mayest allow our endeavour and service and so knowledge us for thy children, that we once may be gathered into that everlasting heritage which thou hast prepared for all the members of thy son Christ. So be it.
