The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing our life is but a minute, yea it is nothing but vanity and smoke: that we may learn to cast all our cares upon thee, and so to depend of of thee, that we doubt nothing but thou wilt deliver us from all perils that may come unto us, when it shall be so profitable for us. Also grant we beseech thee, that we learn to despise and set nothing by our life for the testimony of thy glory, that so we may be ready to depart forth of this life when thou wilt call us: and that the hope of the heavenly life may be so fastened in our harts, that we may willingly leave the world, and that we may desire withal our hart that blessed eternity which thou hast witnessed by thy Gospel to be laid up for us in the heavens, which thine only begotten son hath purchased for us with his blood. Amen.
