¶ The Prayer.
Grant almighty God, seeing thou doest here set before our eyes a notable example whereby we may learn that the greatness of thy power can not be enough commended with mans praise: and seeing that we hear that this profane, cruel, and proud king was a publisher thereof, & that thou hast vouchsafed to manifest thy self unto us in thy son Christ: Grant we beseech thee that with true humility of spirit we may study to glorify thee and give our selves wholly unto thy service, that we may declare not only with tongue and mouth but also by our works, that thou art not only our true and very God, but also our father: seeing thou hast chosen us to be thy children in thine only begotten son, whiles that we may have the full fruition of that eternal inheritance which is laid up for us in the heavens by the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
